Element | Performance criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Inspect drainage systems | 1.1 Confirm the work to be undertaken 1.2 Check personal protective equipment for serviceability and correct fit 1.3 Identify work health and safety hazards associated with the activity and take appropriate steps to minimise risks to self and others 1.4 Inspect drainage system visually for blockages, leaks and operating faults |
2. Maintain system components | 2.1 Inspect components for wear or blockage 2.2 Service mechanical equipment 2.3 Replace simple components |
3. Remove silt and weed growth | 3.1 Clean silt from channels, drains, sumps and crossings 3.2 Remove weed growth 3.3 Flush drainage system 3.4 Observe water flow through channels and from outlets to confirm it is unobstructed |
4. Record and report maintenance activities | 4.1 Record blockage or leakage by type and location of the section of the system affected 4.2 Record and report damaged or faulty equipment 4.3 Record and report all routine maintenance activities 4.4 Check drainage system regularly |
The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

inspect components for wear
monitor and control weeds and silt build up
record and report damage, blockages and leakages
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:
principles and practices of drainage system maintenance:
disposal procedures for chemical containers and residues, oils, grease and used parts
drainage system cleaning procedures
environmental impacts of drainage system maintenance
equipment used to clean and maintain drainage systems
manual, mechanical and chemical weed control methods
types of drainage systems
Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
