Maintain the dimensional accuracy of the work

URN: COSVR708
Business Sectors (Suites): Construction Site Supervision
Developed by: CITB
Approved on: 2020

Overview

"This standard is about maintaining the dimensional accuracy of the work by providing sufficient, clear and accurate dimensional information, observing and checking dimensional controls, correcting dimensional deviations and making allowances for different circumstances in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction site supervision which is defined as the supervision of multiple construction trades and disciplines and can be used by operatives, supervisors and managers"


Performance criteria

You must be able to:

"P1      ensure the workforce is provided with clear and accurate
          dimensional information to enable them to position, align or level
          the work from at least four of the following:
          1.1      lines
          1.2      levels
          1.3      angles
          1.4      distances
          1.5      curves
          1.6      position
          1.7      setting out points
          1.8      loads
          1.9      centres of gravity
P2      confirm organisational checks have been carried out on the
          dimensional controls and are recorded to meet the quality
          standards of the project
P3      confirm any deviations in position, alignment or level and the
          corrective action taken for at least one of the following:
          3.1      transfer of lines and levels
          3.2      position
          3.3      calculations
          3.4      given information
P4      implement and record revised work procedures and practices to
          minimise deviations and to allow for at least one of the following
          circumstances and conditions:
          4.1      working environment
          4.2      unforeseen events
          4.3      planned events"
