Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply shotcrete underground in civil construction and metalliferous mining. This includes preparing team members to apply shotcrete underground and overseeing and reporting on task execution.
It applies to those working in operational roles. They generally work under minimal supervision to undertake a broad range of tasks in varied work contexts, using some discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures.
Licensing, legislative and certification requirements that apply to this unit can vary between states, territories, and industry sectors. Users must check requirements with relevant body before applying the unit.

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
- apply shotcrete underground on at least two occasions, including:
- applying hydroscaling techniques to clean and remove skate prior to shotcreting
- completing equipment pre-start checks
- inspecting and assessing ground control mechanism
- preparing and cleaning the targeted surface
- erecting barriers
- selecting and applying shotcrete.
During the above, the candidate must:
- locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures
- identify report and record hazards and risks
- work with others to complete the application of shotcrete underground.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- legislation required to apply shotcrete underground
- policies, procedures and documentation required to apply shotcrete underground, including those relating to:
- work health and safety
- emergency response
- hazard and risk management
- manufacturer specifications for required plant and equipment
- relevant job specifications
- site requirements
- project quality requirements
- safety data sheets (SDS) and materials handling methods
- equipment safety
- equipment operation and maintenance
- housekeeping activities, including:
- cleaning up work area
- cleaning and maintaining equipment
- processing records
- principles and techniques required to apply shotcrete underground, including those related to:
- ground control characteristics and applications
- explosive types and characteristics
- dewatering characteristics
- shotcreting techniques
- dust suppression equipment
- types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of plant and equipment required to apply shotcrete underground.
Assessment Conditions
Mandatory conditions for assessment of this unit are stipulated below. The assessment must:
- personal protective equipment
- equipment required to apply shotcrete underground
- be conducted in a safe environment; and,
- be assessed in the context of this sector's work environment; and,
- be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures and processes directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
- confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances.
Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated work 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.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must be able to clearly demonstrate current and relevant industry knowledge and experience to satisfy the mandatory regulatory standards as set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015/Australian Quality Training Framework mandatory requirements for assessors current at the time of assessment and any relevant licensing and certification requirements. This includes:
- vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed
- current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided
- current knowledge and skills in vocational training and learning that informs their training and assessment
- formal relevant qualifications in training and assessment
- having knowledge of and/or experience using the latest techniques and processes
- possessing the required level of RII training product knowledge
- having an understanding and knowledge of legislation and regulations relevant to the industry and to employment and workplaces
- demonstrating the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence outlined in this unit of competency, and
- the minimum years of current** work experience after competency has been obtained as specified below in an industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit.
It is also acceptable for the appropriately qualified assessor to work with an industry expert to conduct assessment together and for the industry expert to be involved in the assessment judgement. The industry expert must have current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided. This means the industry subject matter expert must demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience after competency has been obtained as specified below, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed:

*Guidance on simulated environments has been stipulated in the RII implementation guide located on VETNet.
**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 a minimum number of site assessments as determined by the relevant industry sector, across various locations.
*** While a unit of competency does not have an AQF level, where a unit is being delivered outside of a qualification the first numeric character in the unit code should be considered as the AQF indicator level for assessment purposes.
