Modification History

Release 1	This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBC5014A Conduct asbestos assessment associated with removal. Title change. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by conducting two asbestos assessments.

This must include a friable asbestos removal environment where air monitoring is normally undertaken with the use of the membrane filter method as a minimum.

In doing this, the candidate must:

apply scientific and technical principles that underpin the asbestos containing material (ACM) removal assessment process

collect and handle samples in a manner that ensures the integrity of the sample complies with the protocols for the chain of custody

collect, compile, interpret and analyse measurements, information and data related to the removal process and produce a report

conduct site inspections, prepare advice to clients, complete clearance inspections and provide clearance certification relating to removal of ACM that complies with the requirements of relevant legislation, regulations, codes of practice and standards.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

the compliance requirements of the relevant Australian Standards, Building Code of Australia (BCA), model codes of practice, environmental and work health and safety (WHS) legislation

range of materials manufactured using asbestos, the type and characteristics of asbestos used in each material, and the usual applications associated with the material

legislation, regulations, codes of practise and standards

project plans, specifications, quality documentation and manufacturer’s instructions

environmental requirements and sustainability principles

characteristics and health impacts of exposure to ACM

application, methodologies and techniques of compliant removal of asbestos

determining factors in area in which measurements are to be taken

scientific techniques for measuring, testing, evaluating air monitoring results and reports

requirements for professional indemnity and other insurances required by legislation and to mitigate business risk

general construction terminology

risk assessment and contingency planning relating to asbestos removal

operational and functional features of plant, equipment and tools.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Assessment of performance must be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Candidates must be provided with:

government building legislation codes and standards

Code of Practice: How to safely remove asbestos (2018) and How to manage and control asbestos in the workplace (2018) and the Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibres 2nd Edition

manufacturer’s specification and installation instructions

organisational policies and procedures

project plans and specifications

sufficient equipment and materials and testing instruments to conduct asbestos assessment associated with removal.
