Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to operate concrete agitator trucks in support of construction projects.It includes:planning and preparing for workconducting operational checkssafely and effectively operating a concrete agitator truck and associated equipmentpositioning the vehicle at the load pointloading and transporting concretedischarging concrete at work siteapplying emergency proceduresconducting operator maintenancework finalisation activities.The unit also includes supplying a range of concrete mixes, from relatively dry to increasingly wet mixes, including block-fill, pool mix, topping, slab, footing, kerb and guttering mixes for residential, commercial and civil construction sites. It applies to concreters working as members of a team with at least a moderate degree of autonomy. They would be expected to complete routine activities without close supervision.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency in all states and territories except Tasmania.
