Assessment requirements

Modification History

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 relevant documentation, policies and procedures
• implements the appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient supervision of rigid pavement construction tasks including:

• accessing, interpreting and applying documentation for applying the principles of rigid pavement construction
• identifying and applying relevant specifications to all work activities
• identifying, addressing and reporting potential hazards and risks
• identifying, obtaining, confirming and supervising the implementation of signage and barrier requirements
• selecting and checking for faults all plant, tools and equipment to carry out tasks
• identifying, addressing and reporting environmental issues and ground conditions
• ensuring a job plan is available and communicated which makes best use of the available resources and meets task requirements

• works effectively with others to plan, prepare and conduct the supervision of rigid pavement construction tasks to meet all requirements including:

• preparing for and organising work activities to meet all task requirements
• communicating clearly and concisely with others to allocate work tasks and give work instructions
• monitoring movements and hazards and identifying and communicating changes to the work environment during the work process

• demonstrates completion of the principles of rigid pavement construction that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:

• ensuring the provision of all plant, tools, equipment and resources
• supervising the application of correct and effective techniques for rigid pavement construction
• supplying coaching solutions where tasks require problem solving
• ensuring plant, equipment and tools maintenance requirements are carried out and recorded
• supervising the clearing of the work area and disposing of, reusing, recycling or storing of materials
• reporting on the execution of tasks
• recommending improvements to the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of the execution of tasks
• evidence of the successful supervision of rigid pavement construction tasks to meet all job and specification requirements

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge in applying the principles of rigid pavement construction through:

• accessing, interpreting and applying the organisation and site requirements and procedures for:

• identifying and managing risks
• identifying, addressing and reporting environmental issues
• setting up work activity
• site isolation, signage, erecting barriers and traffic control
• work health and safety
• managing waste
• selecting and checking for faults, all plant, tools and equipment to carry out tasks
• supervising work to specifications
• the application of the principles and methods of rigid pavement construction
• applying effective techniques to supervising rigid pavement construction

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	AQF** Level	Required assessor or Industry subject matter expert experience
Drilling, Metalliferous Mining, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying) and Civil Construction	1	1 Year
	2	2 Years
Drilling, Coal Mining and Extractive (Quarrying)	3-6	3 Years
Metalliferous Mining and Civil Construction	3-6	5 Years
Other sectors	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
