Unit of Competency | AHCSAW201A - Conduct erosion and sediment control activities |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit covers the process of carrying out erosion and sediment control activities in both urban and rural environments and defines the standard required to: assess risks from erosion and sediment at a site; assemble structures to prevent erosion and control sediment at a site; carry out sediment control activities in accordance with legislation and stakeholder requirements; confirm that erosion and sediment control meets enterprise requirements. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to workers at an operational level involved in earthworks construction and other land forming activities working under routine supervision with intermittent checking by supervisors. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
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.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following: assess risks from erosion and sediment at a site assemble structures to prevent erosion and control sediment at a site carry out sediment control activities in accordance with legislation and stakeholder requirements confirm that erosion and sediment control meets enterprise requirements. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
identify hazards and follow safe operating procedures identify erosion and sediment control structures/measures/practices carry out routine work with control measures and structures identify areas at risk of erosion undertake activities in accordance with legislation/community expectation and project specifications use literacy skills to follow sequenced written instructions and record information accurately and legibly use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification and seeking advice from supervisor use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine workplace measures use interpersonal skills to relate to people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities. |
Required knowledge |
cost to the community of erosion and sedimentation loss of habitat water quality loss of production/asset/amenity re-occurring maintenance/repair/monitoring agents/processes of erosion and sedimentation types of erosion and sediment control structures and techniques for constructing them basic catchments issues role of vegetation characteristics of soils with an emphasis on erodible soils. OHS and environmental legislative and enterprise procedures. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. | |
Control activities may include: | grade stabilising structures outlet protection structures storm water detention measures dust control revegetation for the purpose of controlling erosion. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist
