Critical Aspects of Evidence
It is essential that competence be observed in the following aspects:
demonstrate compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations applicable to workplace operations
indicate compliance with organisational policies and procedures
select and use appropriate processes tools and equipment to carry out tasks
attention to the accurate setting up of forms or moulds for placement of mix
apply organisational quality procedures and process within the context of producing reconstituted stone
select stone materials consistent with specification of job required
correct proportioning of materials carried out to specification for mix
give attention to safe handling and placement procedures
adopt and use safe and effective procedures to apply grinding and polishing processes
identify typical faults and problems that occur and necessary action taken to rectify
interactively communicate with others to ensure safe and effective workplace operations
complete produced stone to specifications for mix and finish

Pre-requisite Relationship of Units
Pre-requisites for this unit are:
BCG1006A Use small plant and equipment
BCG1008A Use simple levelling devices
BCG1010A Carry out concrete work to simple forms

Underpinning Knowledge and Skills
A knowledge of:
workplace and equipment safety requirements including relevant statutory regulations, codes and standards
drawings and specifications
formwork and moulds for concrete
materials and characteristics
proportioning of materials for concrete mixes
placement and compaction of concrete
polishing and grinding processes
plant, tools and equipment
handling of materials
worksite communication
measuring, levelling and calculations
The ability to:
work safely
read and interpret drawings
organise work
use tools and equipment
calculate materials
place concrete
communicate effectively

Resource Implications
The following resources should be provided:
work area suitable to task
tools, plant and equipment appropriate to the application processes
moulds on material for formwork appropriate to activity
materials required for composition of proposed mix
drawings and specifications relevant to proposed task

Method of Assessment
Competency should be assessed through direct observation of application to tasks and questions related to underpinning knowledge.
Assessment may be by intermittent checking at various stages of each task application or at the end of each task in accordance with the performance criteria and specifications.

Context of Assessment
Competency may be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace setting.
Assessment shall be while tasks are undertaken either individually or as part of a team under limited supervision.
