Performance Evidence

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

  • follow safe work practices
  • participate in teams and contribute to team objectives
  • understand instructions
  • read labels, site plan measurements and work health and safety symbols
  • communicate effectively with team members and supervisor
  • tally work hours, calibrating tools and equipment, measuring volumes to apply cleaning agents, measuring quantities of materials and estimating areas
  • minimise noise, dust and water run-off to prevent nuisance-level environmental disturbance
  • use industry standard terminology.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

  • enterprise standards for presentation of buildings, structures and surroundings
  • the effect of outdoor climatic conditions (including rain, hail, extreme heat and wind, and very high ultraviolet radiation), which may prevent or impede maintenance activities, or influence the selection of tools, equipment and safety equipment to minimise the hazards presented
  • the relationship between specific maintenance activities and the external environment, and reasons for procedures that help to minimise the impact that these activities may have on the environment
  • workplace hazards and work health and safety symbols, signs and practices in the context of own work
  • sustainability practices in the context of own work.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
