Performance Evidence

Evidence is required to be collected that demonstrates a candidate’s competency in this unit. Evidence must be relevant to the roles within this sector’s work operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria of this unit and include evidence that the candidate:

  • locates and applies applicable legislation, documentation, policies and procedures
  • works effectively with others to undertake and complete the installation of pre-cast concrete bridge decks that meets all of the required outcomes including:
  • communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions
  • using a range of communication techniques and systems such as signage to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
  • demonstrates completion of installing pre-cast concrete bridge decks that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
  • installing bearings and brackets/bolts in preparation for placement of girders
  • installing pre-cast concrete deck units including installation of transverse stressing bars and bearings on a multi-span bridge with a minimum length of twenty (20) metres to specifications
  • assembling and installing pre-fabricated stairs

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of the following in applying the install pre-cast concrete bridge decks through:

  • applying legislative, organisational and site requirements and procedures for:
  • risk assessment and management
  • site and equipment safety requirements
  • bridge construction and sequencing
  • pre-cast concrete bridge decks and installation
  • bearing types and installation
  • safe lifting techniques
  • safe working procedures, working at heights and over water

  • civil construction terminology
  • interpreting engineering drawings
  • equipment types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations
  • site isolation and traffic control responsibilities and authorities
  • safety data sheets and materials handling methods
  • JSA/JSEA/safe work method statements

Assessment Conditions

  • An assessor of this unit must satisfy the requirements of the NVR/AQTF or their successors; and Industry regulations for certification and licensing; and,
  • this unit must be assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment; and,
  • this unit must be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
  • assessment may be conducted in conjunction with the assessment of other Units of Competency; and,
  • assessment must confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances; and,
  • assessors must demonstrate the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and through the minimum years of current* work experience specified below in an Industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit; or,
  • where the assessor does not meet experience requirements a co-assessment or partnership arrangement must exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry subject matter expert. The Industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit) and/or demonstrate equivalence of skills and knowledge at the unit level. An Industry technical expert must also demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience specified below in the Industry sector, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed; and,
  • assessor and Industry subject matter expert requirements differ depending on the Australian Qualifications Framework Level (AQF) of the qualification being assessed and/or Industry Sector as follows:
  • Industry sector
