- Mixing/ spreading materials
- Scarifying and ripping
- Cutting and trimming of batters
- Trimming of road sub-grades and pavements
- Site clean-up
- Form and carry a windrow
• Selecting, fitting, testing, using and removing at least two attachments, the attachment must be certified and approved in line with workplace procedures.

• Parking and securing of equipment.
In the course of the above the candidate must also:
• Locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures.
• Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities.
• Carry out vehicle refuelling requirements and procedures where applicable.
• Apply safe work practices, identifying and reporting all potential hazards, risks and environmental issues.
• Apply problem solving and troubleshooting techniques when operating equipment.

Practical Assessment - Instructions for Candidate
To meet the requirements of this unit of competency, you will be required to successfully complete the Practical Assessment. The assessor may be also asked to provide additional evidence to attach to the Practical component. This checklist should be completed in the following ways: -
(Satisfactory)- Indicates demonstration to an acceptable industry standard with application of required knowledge, problem solving, following safe work practices and meeting the workplace responsibilities and expectations as required.
(Not Yet Satisfactory)- In this case, reasons should be given to justify a decision of being unsuccessful.
Re-assessments should be carried out only on that particular area where the participant were deemed unsuccessful and further evidence is required. The trainer or assessor needs to observe you demonstrating the following essential skills in your workplace or in a simulated environment. In order to achieve competency in this unit, every box should have a tick.
Conditions of Practical Assessment: The assessor / trainer will provide the instructions, if you are unclear about what you have to do, clarify instructions with your assessor /trainer before commencing practical tasks. You must be observed independently, and all activities demonstrated satisfactory. Practical tasks must be undertaken with correct footwear, high vis clothing and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that may be required as appropriate.
The Practical Assessment may be stopped immediately at any time if you act in a way that puts yourself, other learners, the assessor / trainer, property or equipment in any danger. If this happens, rescheduling of the assessment will be at the discretion of your assessor / trainer.
