Carry out oxy acetylene welding, thermal cutting and thermal heating procedures

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling and lifting equipment procedures and organisation insurance requirements.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in lifting, safety equipment, oxy welding and thermal cutting and heating procedures, environmental issues, repair procedures and vehicle operational requirements.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to carry out welding, thermal cutting and thermal heating procedures appropriate to the repairs conducted in the retail, service and repair streams.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

read and interpret communication procedural information from job sheets to prepare for work

identify materials used in the work process

follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage and wastage of goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

identify, set up, operate and maintain oxy welding, heating and cutting equipment.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Access to vehicle and manufacturer specifications as identified in the Range Statement, and standard operating procedures.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.
