Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:
applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements applying sustainable energy and environmental principles and practices cleaning, checking and storing tools and equipment communicating effectively with others completing required documentation and reporting complying with regulations, industry standards, legislative requirements, codes of practice, manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and environmental requirements conducting quality and safety checks constructing and laying large copper gas distribution pipelines dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment identifying plant and equipment and safe operating parameters/requirements identifying reading plans, drawings, manuals and diagrams correctly maintaining a clean work area preparing the excavation site selecting and checking tools, equipment, plant and personal protective equipment (PPE) for correct operation and safety testing pipework working in accordance with relevant work permit/notifications.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and PPE currently used in industry applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
