Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan and prepare. |
1.1. Work instructions, including plans, specifications, quality requirements and operational details are obtained from relevant information , confirmed and applied to the scope of work performed. 1.2. Reinforced concrete construction schedule is identified from project schedule. 1.3. Elements of structure are identified from project construction schedule and job drawings. 1.4. Safety (OHS ) requirements are followed in accordance with safety plans and policies. 1.5. Environmental requirements are identified for the project in accordance with environmental plans and statutory and legislative authority obligations and applied. |
2. Read and interpret schedule. |
2.1. Structural element to be constructed is confirmed from site and structural detail drawings. 2.2. Reinforcement schedule is read to identify the appropriate reinforcement type for the structural element. 2.3. Number of reinforcement pieces/sheets is identified from structural detail drawings. 2.4. Reinforcement schedule is read to identify coding and number related to labels. 2.5. Discrepancies in coding and numbering are identified and situation is reported to schedule contact for clarification. |
3. Check contents of bundles. |
3.1. Content of reinforcement material bundles is checked for conformity to schedule and proposed structural element. 3.2. Discrepancies between the schedule and actual material quantities are investigated and resolved or reported. 3.3. Discrepancies between the schedule and actual material shape, size or length are investigated and resolved or reported. 3.4. Cranked or bent items of reinforcement are identified, segregated and reported. 3.5. Schedule is marked where content conforms to schedule and structural element's requirements. |
4. Locate reinforcement for element construction. |
4.1. Reinforcement is marked or placed and noted ready for transportation to element location. 4.2. Reinforcement is directed to structural location for placement and fixing. |
5. Communicate schedule information. |
5.1. Job sequencing schedule detail is communicated to steel fixers and team members to ensure efficient work practices. 5.2. Changes to job sequencing schedule are recorded as per site requirements. 5.3. Work completion procedures are identified and relevant personnel notified when finished, as per site requirements. |

Evidence Guide
EVIDENCE GUIDE |
|
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. |
|
Overview of assessment |
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. Resource implications for assessment include:
Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. |
Method of assessment |
Assessment methods must:
Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:
Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed. Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff. |
