Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICTCBL251 - Install aerial and underground cable lead-ins

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for cable installation

  1. Obtain construction plan from appropriate personnel to scope work and arrange for site access
  2. Access site according to enterprise procedure
  3. Inform appropriate personnel of identified hazards and safety constraints on worksite
  4. Obtain cable installation plan and set up installation equipment according to manufacturer requirements
  5. Identify existing ‘other’ services by analysing drawings and following Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) protocols
  6. Determine cable route and type of cable from construction plan, identifying and avoiding other services
  7. Select suitable protective clothing, tools and equipment, and safety equipment, and confirm support structures are safe

Install aerial cable lead-in

  1. Use safe support structures and appropriate tools
  2. Select required type of cable bearer and determine need for separate catenary wire or self-supporting installation
  3. Install and secure catenary wire, integral bearer cable (IBC) or self-supporting cable permanently to support structure using aerial fixing devices, and adjust tension to meet relevant height and minimum sag requirements to required specifications
  4. Secure cable safely, leaving cable loop on support structure
  5. Install mid-span fly offs according to cable configuration, using approved hardware
  6. Install cable ensuring no damage is caused
  7. Maintain physical characteristics of cable leaving cable loop on support structure according to cable configuration
  8. Terminate and test cable continuity in customer enclosure and aerial enclosure
  9. Label cables according to industry guidelines and authorisations
