What evidence is required to demonstrate competence for this standard as a whole

Competence in implementing erosion and sediment control measures requires evidence that erosion and sediment control measures have been satisfactory constructed or installed according to enterprise guidelines and industry best practice The skills and knowledge required to implement erosion and sediment control measures must be transferable to a range of work environments and contexts

For example this could include different measures machinery and soil types

What specific knowledge is needed to achieve the performance criteria

Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace to transfer the skills to other contexts and to deal with unplanned events The knowledge requirements for this unit are listed below

Materials cartage pollution control

Sequence of working and timingduration

Occupational healthampsafety issues relating to the site

Equipment used

Construct install and maintain includes materials quantity and where to source them on site

Constructioninstallation techniques for all measures on the plan

Limitations of structures including timing of maintenance structure life cycle specifications and standards

What specific skills are needed to achieve the performance criteria

To achieve the performance criteria some complementary skills are required These skills include the ability to

Prepare for implementation and construction

Carry out implementation and construction

Carry out repairs and maintenance procedures

What processes should be applied to this competency standard

There are a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life which are required in all jobs They are fundamental processes and generally transferable to other work functions Some of these are covered by the key competencies although others may be added The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this competency standard Following each question a number in brackets indicates the level to which the key competency needs to be demonstrated where not required perform the process perform and administer the process and perform administer and design the process

How can communication of ideas and information be applied

By discussing verbally or in writing erosion and sediment control measures with supervisors and others

How can information be collected analysed and organised

Implementing erosion and sediment control measures will require basic site information to be gathered and organised accordingly

How are activities planned and organised

Implementing erosion and sediment control measures requires some planning and organising

How can team work be applied

Implementing erosion and sediment control measures will require coordination of self and others in a team

How can the use of mathematical ideas and techniques be applied

Basic mathematical techniques relating to sequencing of working and timingduration could be applied

How can problemsolving skills be applied

During erosion and sediment control implementation technical and organisational problems may arise requiring simple solutions

How can the use of technology be applied

Erosion control technology will be required

Are there other competency standards that could be assessed with this one

This competency standard could be assessed on its own or in combination with other competencies relevant to the job function
