List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Confirm performance measures | 1.1 Identify water flow, quality and quantity requirements. 1.2 Identify surveillance and stakeholder requirements. 1.3 Identify performance measures for the resource and operation. 1.4 Identify environmental flows that impact on water flows and quality. |
2. Monitor and coordinate asset performance | 2.1 Select, fit and use equipment, including personal protective equipment. 2.2 Apply monitoring and testing programs. 2.3 Monitor assets to ensure performance meets specifications in management plan. 2.4 Schedule maintenance programs. 2.5 Monitor water flows and quality. 2.6 Coordinate processes to meet plan requirements and targets. 2.7 Take action to optimise system performance. |
3. Finalise work | 3.1 Analyse, record and report coordination and monitoring data. 3.2 Identify and report current and potential problems. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.
interpreting plans, charts and instructions, policies, procedures and standards
using safety equipment and personal protective equipment
identifying and investigating operational problems
monitoring and coordinating the operation of bulkwater systems
identifying system performance measures, stakeholder requirements and environmental factors that may influence performance
implementing monitoring and testing programs
scheduling maintenance
coordinating and optimising system performance
collecting and recording data
producing required reports
Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.
system hydraulics
coordination processes
system layout, processes
environmental aspects of bulkwater systems
chemical use
policies, procedures and legislation
risk factors and potential hazards involved with water pressures and flows
equipment operation, capacity and limitations
effects of weather and conditions on operation of supply networks
pipes and fittings
pumping and valving systems
control systems
Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.
Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
