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 documentation, policies and procedures
  • implements the requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient completion of on-line replacements for existing pipeline systems including:
  • selecting and using the required tools and equipment
  • determining site conditions and locating underground utilities
  • preparing exit and entry pits
  • undertaking confined space entry
  • identifying and selecting on-line replacement methods
  • monitoring installation process and the finished product
  • works effectively with others to undertake and complete on-line replacement for existing pipeline systems that meets all of the required outcomes including:
  • using a range of communication techniques and equipment to convey information to others
  • maintaining written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures
  • organising work activities to meet all task requirements
  • demonstrates completion of on-line replacement for existing pipeline systems that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
  • completing a minimum of two (2) different on-line replacements for existing pipeline systems
  • identifying, obtaining, confirming and applying work, safety and signage instructions and requirements
  • cleaning, checking, maintaining and storing plant, tools and equipment

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge in undertaking on-line replacement for existing pipeline systems through:

  • laser control equipment techniques
  • manual handling techniques
  • engineering drawings, plans and specifications
  • equipment types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations
  • site isolation and traffic control responsibilities
  • materials safety data sheets and materials handling methods
  • civil construction terminology
  • pipeline systems methods

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
