Modification History

Release 1	This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCDE3015A Remove friable asbestos. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must undertake two different friable asbestos removal and disposal tasks.

Performance must include:

erecting enclosures, installing negative air pressure units and decontamination units

integrity testing of enclosures

In doing this, the candidate must meet the performance criteria for this unit.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

the compliance requirements of the relevant Australian Standards, Building Code of Australia (BCA), model codes of practice, environmental and work health and safety (WHS) legislation

range of materials manufactured using asbestos, the type and characteristics of asbestos used in each material, the usual applications associated with the material

methods and purpose for assessing hazards relating to friable asbestos containing material (ACM), together with an understanding of:

health effects caused by exposure to ACM and requirement for safe handling and removal

health impacts on the community and requirement for safe handling and disposal

decontamination techniques

hazards, including health hazards associated with friable ACM, using enclosures and removing friable asbestos

licensing requirements for the use of specific equipment, such as excavators

requirements of current legislation and standards

handling requirements of differing types of asbestos materials

worksite and work area procedures

risk assessment processes and contingency planning, job safety analysis (JSA), safety data sheets (SDS), asbestos registers and register amendments and safe work method statements (SWMS) related to removal of friable asbestos

materials storage and hazardous waste management

method of operation, cleaning, use and maintenance requirements of equipment

demolition plant and equipment as applicable to asbestos removal only

techniques associated with enclosing and removing asbestos, including:

use of certified WHS management system and emergency plan.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Assessment of performance must be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Assessors are responsible for ensuring that the candidate demonstrating competency has access to:

worksite/s and specifications for removal of friable asbestos

materials to build a negative pressure enclosure that meets negative pressure requirements for enclosing airborne asbestos fibres arising from asbestos removal

negative air unit/s

equipment such as manometer and smoke generator to validate negative pressure and no leaks from the enclosure

appropriate documents, materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently approved for use in industry, as per codes of practice, Australian Standards, requirements of legislation, regulations and requirements of workplace policies and as required by state, territory and Commonwealth regulators.
