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
- demonstrates consistent and timely completion of applying shot-crete underground that safely, effectively and efficiently meet all of the required outcomes on a minimum of one (3) separate occasions including:
- applying hydroscaling techniques to clean and remove skate prior to shot-creting
- completing equipment pre-start checks
- inspecting and assessing ground control mechanism
- preparing and cleaning the targeted surface
- erecting barriers
- selecting and applying shot-crete
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge in applying shot-crete underground through:
- dewatering procedures and characteristics
- environmental procedures
- equipment safety requirements
- ground control characteristics and applications
- explosive identification
- shot-creting techniques
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 is best assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment;
- where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of this sector’s workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills; and,
- this unit must be assessed using Resources and Infrastructure Industry sector specific policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals; and,
- assessor requirements differ between sectors as follows:
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Metalliferous Mining sector:
- an assessor must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of this unit through five (5) years of current and continuous work with the Industry sector and must hold the TAE Assessor Skill Set or equivalent; or,
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Civil Construction sector
- an assessor must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of this unit through five (5) years’ work experience in the Industry sector; and,
- where the assessor does not have current experience a co-assessment or partnership arrangement needs to exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry technical expert/ subject matter expert. The Industry technical expert/subject matter expert must hold the unit being assessed and be currently working in the sector with a minimum of two (2) years’ of current work experience.
