Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE

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 This unit of competency could be assessed in the

workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based

assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

Critical aspects for assessment and

evidence required to demonstrate

competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

correctly locate, interpret and apply relevant information, standards and specifications

apply general procedures for responding to

incidents and reporting hazards and injuries

select and use firefighting equipment to extinguish a simulated mechanical fire

evacuate a site through simulated response to an

emergency, complying with workplace procedures.

Context of and specific resources

for assessment This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

an induction procedure and requirement

Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to

confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and

environments.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured

learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at

different points in time and separated by further learning and practice, with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the

assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge

all assessment that is part of a structured learning

experience must include a combination of direct,

CPPPMT3002 Assess, advise on options, and develop pest

management plans for complex or high risk operations


Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPPMT3002A Assess and advise on pest management options.


Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to assess premises and advise on

suitable pest management options for managing cockroaches, rodents or other common pests such as ants, bedbugs, spiders or flying insects in complex or high risk operations, such as

aged care or childcare facilities, hospitals, hotels, food manufacturing premises or large construction projects. High risk operations are those in premises where occupants are more sensitive to pesticide application. The premises may have an existing pest problem or may be

seeking to prevent future pest problems.

The unit covers clarifying client requirements; inspecting premises to identify the nature and extent of existing, and the risk of future, pest and pest activity; and assessing inspection findings to select and advise the client on pest management methods most suitable to the

premises and nature of operations.

The unit supports pest management technicians responsible for assessing pest activity that impacts on the health, safety or amenity of persons or environments.

CPPPMT3007 Implement pest management plans for complex or

high risk operations


Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPPMT3007A Implement pest management plans.


Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to establish and monitor the implementation of pest management plans for managing cockroaches, rodents or other

common pests such as ants, bedbugs, spiders or flying insects, including preventative pest management measures, in complex or high risk operations, such as aged care or childcare

facilities, hospitals, hotels, food manufacturing premises or large construction projects. High risk operations include premises where occupants may be sensitive to pesticide application.

commodities and environments


Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPPMT3011A Conduct fumigation.


Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to control by fumigation, organisms and organism activity that affect the health, safety or amenity of persons, commodities or

environments in domestic, commercial, industrial and maritime situations.

The unit covers developing a thorough understanding of client requirements; assessing the site; selecting methods, fumigants and equipment required to meet client requirements; and applying company procedures in order to perform the task. These work functions are

conducted by teams of at least two people in compliance with state and territory health and safety legislation.

Fumigants are most frequently applied by pest technicians to meet quarantine conditions for exported or imported goods, but are also applied in commercial grain handling and storage

environments.

This unit is not intended for use in horticultural or agricultural situations involving the growing of crops.

Fumigants are chemicals which at a particular temperature and pressure can exist in a gaseous state in sufficient concentration and for sufficient time to be lethal to insects or other animals,

plants and seeds or other organisms. The fumigant is applied to a fumigation enclosure which is a space which has been made sufficiently gas tight to contain the fumigant at the required concentrations for the required time.



Where required, the fumigator must meet the licensing requirements of the relevant Australian or international quarantine authority.
