Unit code: CPPSIS4041

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to set out spatial data for building or site works using surveying methods and equipment. The unit covers using horizontal and vertical control techniques to set out marks and lines to define the position and level of design points on site. It also covers interpreting plans and specifications in order to conduct measurements and calculations that ensure building elements are the correct size, in the correct plan position, and at the correct reduced level. The unit requires the ability to check and validate measurements and calculations against specifications, and complete set-out documentation.

Unit code: CPCCOHS1001A

Unit description:

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to undertake Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) induction training within the construction industry. It requires the ability to demonstrate personal awareness of OHS legislative requirements, and the basic principles of risk management and prevention of injury and illness in the construction industry. Licensing requirements will apply to this unit of competency depending on the regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction.

Unit code: CPPCMN4002

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to analyse the workplace in relation to environmentally sustainable work practices, and then implement improvements and monitor their effectiveness.

Unit code: CPPCMN4003

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to facilitate the development of team members’ working relationships, monitor their interactions and performance, and manage coaching and incentive programs to improve team effectiveness.

Unit code: CPPSIS3021

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to visually interpret image data to identify the basic features of the landscape, including land cover such as vegetation, roads, railways, buildings, water bodies and terrain forms. Image data can include aerial and terrestrial photographs and satellite images. The images can be digital or in hard copy. Mapping or other appropriate software can be used to assist visual interpretation if it is available. The unit requires the ability to apply the principles and methods of visual image interpretation. This unit is restricted to visual interpretation, as digital enhancement of images is covered in CPPSIS4026 Digitally enhance and process image data.

Unit code: CPPSIS4022

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to store and retrieve spatial data, including digital and hard copy storage. The unit covers locating, storing, and backing up data according to organisational procedures.

Unit code: CPPSIS4030

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to operate a range of surveying equipment for data capture or spatial data set-out. The unit covers selecting, setting up and using surveying equipment to perform basic measurements; and recording and calculating horizontal and vertical information. This includes validating and checking data accuracy and performing basic data reductions and manipulation using software. The unit requires the ability to check and adjust equipment to achieve task requirements, and to identify and report faults or problems. It also requires the ability to plan and execute work tasks in consultation with team members, and complete records and documentation.

Unit code: CPPSIS4032

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to plan and conduct field surveying operations, which may include working in isolated or remote areas. The unit covers planning and preparing operations to ensure adequate equipment and supplies and to meet work health and safety requirements. The unit also requires completing documentation and cleaning, checking, maintaining and storing equipment after the field operation is completed. The unit requires knowledge of emergency procedures.

Unit code: CPPSIS4036

Unit description: This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to operate spatial software applications to produce, name and store spatial documents. The unit covers planning work tasks and selecting suitable software and equipment to meet task requirements. The unit requires the ability to use a computer and the features, tools and functions of different software applications to present, calculate and check spatial information.
