Performance Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit.

The candidate must demonstrate completion of tracked dozer operations that safely, effectively and efficiently follows workplace procedures to carry out work activity on at least two occasions, and include:

select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities

carry out refuelling requirements and procedures

drive and operate the equipment to site conditions

apply safe work practices, identifying and reporting all potential hazards, risks and environmental issues

work safely around high bench walls

apply problem solving and troubleshooting techniques

monitor and manage equipment performance using indicators and alarms

identify common equipment faults

carry out towing and pushing of equipment and plant

select and use the required tools and equipment

use a range of communication techniques and equipment essential to the safe completion of work activity, including hand, audible and other signals

meet written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures associated with equipment operations

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes:

Key policies and procedures, legislation and established requirements for tracked dozer operation without attachments, including those relating to:

isolation requirements

work health and safety, including signs of operator fatigue and how it should be managed

dozer techniques, including towing and pushing

operational maintenance and basic diagnostics

personal protective equipment

fires, accidents and emergencies

recyclable materials

housekeeping activities

machine guidance systems

Key factors affecting work activities described in performance evidence above, including:

equipment processes, technical capability and limitations

interpretation of plans, reports, maps, specifications

geological and technical data (basic)

Assessment Conditions

Mandatory conditions for assessment of this unit are stipulated below. The assessment must:

include access to:

tracked dozer

personal protective equipment

be conducted in a safe environment; and,

be assessed in context of this sector’s work environment; and,

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,

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 competency standards as set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF 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 a high level of RII training product knowledge

having an understanding and knowledge of legislations and regulations relevant to the industry and to employment and workplaces

demonstrating the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as 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 hold the relevant vocational competencies and have current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided and must work alongside a trainer and/or assessor to conduct the assessment. This means the industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit), and must also 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:

Industry sector	AQF indicator level***	Required assessor or industry subject matter expert experience
Drilling, Metalliferous Mining, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying) and Civil Infrastructure	1	1 Year
2	2 Years
Drilling, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying), Metalliferous Mining and Civil Infrastructure	3-6	3 Years
Other sectors	Where this unit is being assessed outside of the resources and infrastructure sectors, assessor and/or industry subject matter expert experience should be in-line with industry standards for the sector in which it is being assessed and, where no industry standard is specified, should comply with any relevant regulation.

*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.
