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
- implements the requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient installation of temporary and permanent rock anchors including:
- using installation techniques to install both temporary and permanent rock anchors
- works effectively with others to undertake and complete the installation of temporary and permanent rock anchors tasks that meets all the required outcomes including:
- communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions
- using a range of communication technique and systems such as signage to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
- demonstrates completion of installing temporary and permanent rock anchors that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
- setting up and ensuring anchor holes are drilled, cleaned, tested for leakage and covered to prevent entry of foreign material
- installing a minimum of ten (10) permanent anchor bolts, finished with mesh and shotcrete
- installing a minimum of ten (10) temporary anchor bolts
- stressing, locking off, cutting and sealing anchors
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of installing temporary and permanent rock anchors through:
- applying organisation, site requirements and procedures for:
- installing temporary and permanent rock anchors
- conducting earthworks
- carrying out foundation work
- scaffolding and work platform installation
- site isolation and traffic control responsibilities and authorities

- preparing and/or implementing 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:
|

Where this Unit is being assessed outside of the Resources and Infrastructure Sectors assessor and/or Industry subject matter expert experience should be in-line with industry standards for the sector in which it is being assessed and where no Industry standard is specified should comply with any relevant regulation.
|
*Assessors can demonstrate current work experience through employment within Industry in a role relevant to the outcomes of the Unit; or, for external assessors this can be demonstrated through exposure to Industry by conducting frequent site assessments across various locations.
**Where a unit is being delivered outside of a Qualification the first numeric character in the Unit code should be considered to indicate the AQF level
