works effectively with others to undertake and complete implementing, monitoring, rectifying and reporting on mobile plant and equipment systems including:
using a range of communications techniques and equipment to convey information to others
maintaining clear and legible written records and the reporting systems
interpreting and implementing policy
consulting with other parties
coordinating activities of others
managing information
demonstrates completion of implementing, monitoring, rectifying and reporting on mobile plant and equipment systems that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
the implementation and management of a mobile plant and equipment system including:
compiling and analysing all relevant information
developing implementation plan including contingency plan
implementing the system
monitoring and reviewing the system
preparing written report on system including recommendations for improvement
Evidence of Knowledge
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of the following when implement, monitor, rectify and report on mobile plant and equipment systems:
monitoring accuracy and precision requirements
identifying the limitations of transport monitoring systems
identifying the functions, capabilities and limitations of vehicles and mine equipment
implementing project reporting guidelines

planning for and managing contingencies
Assessment Conditions
An assessor of this unit must satisfy the requirements of the NVR/AQTF or their successors; and Industry regulations for certification and licensing: and,
this unit must be assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment; and,
this unit must be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
assessment may be conducted in conjunction with the assessment of other Units of Competency; and,
assessment must confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances; and,
assessors must demonstrate the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and through the minimum years of current* work experience specified below in an Industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit; or,
where the assessor does not meet experience requirements a co-assessment or partnership arrangement must exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry subject matter expert. The Industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit) and/or demonstrate equivalence of skills and knowledge at the unit level. An Industry technical expert must also demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience specified below in the Industry sector, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed; and,
assessor and Industry subject matter expert requirements differ depending on the Australian Qualifications Framework Level (AQF) of the qualification being assessed and/or Industry Sector as follows:
Industry sector | AQF** Level | Required assessor or Industry subject matter expert experience |
Drilling, Metalliferous Mining, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying) and Civil Construction | 1 | 1 Year |
2 | 2 Years | |
Drilling, Coal Mining and Extractive (Quarrying) | 3-6 | 3 Years |
Metalliferous Mining and Civil Construction | 3-6 | 5 Years |
Other sectors | Where this Unit is being assessed outside of the Resources and Infrastructure Sectors assessor and/or Industry subject matter expert experience should be in-line with industry standards for the sector in which it is being assessed and where no Industry standard is specified should comply with any relevant regulation. | |
*Assessors can demonstrate current work experience through employment within Industry in a role relevant to the outcomes of the Unit; or, for external assessors this can be demonstrated through exposure to Industry by conducting frequent site assessments across various locations.
**Where a unit is being delivered outside of a Qualification the first numeric character in the Unit code should be considered to indicate the AQF level
