- operating rod handling equipment
- refuelling operations on vehicles, drill rigs and ancillary equipment
- identification and application of correct lubricants
- correct handling of samples
- carrying out housekeeping
- identification and mixing of drill fluids
- identification of bits to suit differing ground conditions
- works effectively with others to assist with cable tool drilling that meets all of the required outcomes including:
- complying with written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures
- communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions
- communicating clearly and concisely with others to resolve coordination requirements prior to commencing and during work activities
- demonstrates completion of assisting with cable tool drilling that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
- fitting/removing and measuring correct bits to/from the tool string
- laying out tools and equipment in readiness for drilling
- inspecting tool string components and replacing worn/damaged components
- operating rod/casing handling equipment
- ensuring no surface contamination of samples

- applying the organisation and site requirements and procedures for:
- work, health and safety
- environmental issues
- handling requirements drilling equipment
- housekeeping
- identification and care of samples including storage and transport
- identifying cable tool drilling equipment, components and names

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
|
