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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
| |
1 | Plan and prepare to apply finishes. | 1.1 | Job requirements are obtained,reviewed, confirmed with relevant personnel and applied to planning. |
| 1.2 | Work site is inspected, conditions and hazards are identified and reported as required, and health and safety requirements for preparing surfaces and applying finishes are confirmed with relevant personnel and applied to planning. |
| 1.3 | Surfaces to be covered, surface preparation method, liquid finishes and application methodsto be used are identified and confirmed. |
| 1.4 | Job safety analysis (JSA) or safe work method statement(SWMS) for preparing surfaces and applying finishes is reviewed, and confirmed with relevant personnel. |
| 1.5 | Sequence of work is identified and scheduled in consultation with client and other shopfitters according to job requirements. |
| 1.6 | Tools and equipment are selected to carry out tasks according to job requirements, checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified or reported before starting work. |
| 1.7 | Liquid finishes are selected and quantities are calculated according to job requirements. |
| 1.8 | Liquid finishes are obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use. |
2 | Prepare surfaces. | 2.1 | New or uncoated surfaces are prepared according to liquid finish manufacturer specifications, substrate and job requirements. |
| 2.2 | Substrate of previously coated surfaces is identified and condition of surfaces is determined according to liquid finish manufacturer specifications and job requirements. |
| 2.3 | Previously coated surfaces are prepared by removing unwanted coatings and loose debris according to job requirements. |
| 2.4 | Prepared surface defects are repaired and imperfections stopped, filled and sanded to smooth finish ready for required finish according to liquid finish manufacturer specifications and job requirements. |
3 | Apply stains and lacquers to surfaces. | 3.1 | Stain is applied evenly and consistently using specified application method according to health and safety and workplace procedures. |
| 3.2 | Stained surfaces are checked for consistent colour and dryness and wiped to provide a clean surface for the application of lacquer according to job requirements. |
| 3.3 | Consistent coverage of lacquer is applied to surfaces using specified application method according to manufacturer recommendations, and health and safety and workplace procedures. |
4 | Apply paint or sealer to surfaces. | 4.1 | Paint or sealer is applied using specified application method to obtain an even coverage according to job specifications, and health and safety and workplace procedures. |
| 4.2 | Painted or sealed surfaces are allowed to dry and checked for consistent coverage. |
| 4.3 | Surfaces are lightly sanded and wiped to provide a clean surface for repeat applications according to job specifications, and health and safety and workplace procedures. |
5 | Clean up. | 5.1 | Area is cleaned and reusable and waste materials are stored or disposed of according to workplace procedures. |
| 5.2 | Unused liquid finishes are sealed and stored according to manufacturer instructions. |
| 5.3 | Application tools and equipment are cleaned according to safety data sheet (SDS) for the liquid finish used. |
| 5.4 | Tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace requirements. |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must:
prepare, stain and spray lacquer two surfaces of at least two square metres each, as follows:
one veneered board surface
one solid timber surface
prepare surface and spray paint or seal at least two square metres of manufactured board
prepare surface and spray paint at least two square metres of previously painted surface.
In doing the above work, the person must:
interpret and confirm job requirements, including calculating area of surfaces and estimating volume of liquid finish required
plan and organise work to achieve outcomes of job requirements, in consultation with client and other shopfitters, as required
comply with health and safety requirements relevant to preparing shopfittings and surfaces and applying liquid finishes
apply workplace and relevant work site procedures relevant to preparing shopfittings and surfaces and applying liquid finishes
develop or adapt job safety analyses (JSA) or safe work method statements (SWMS) for tasks
identify and select suitable finishes and applicators
correctly and efficiently use applicators
identify typical faults and problems that occur when preparing shopfittings and applying liquid finishes and action required to rectify them
communicate with others to ensure safe and effective shopfitting operations.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
applicators and equipment relevant to applying liquid finishes, including safe operating procedures
characteristics of liquid finishes listed in the range of conditions, including safety data sheet (SDS) information

surface preparation required for surfaces specified in the performance evidence
types of hazardous materials used for coating shopfittings and surfaces and requirements for their safe handling
workplace and equipment safety requirements relating to preparing shopfittings and surfaces and applying liquid finishes.
Suitable assessment of performance requires:

relationships with team members and supervisor:
must schedule and complete work to accommodate requirements of other shopfitters
relationship with client:
must schedule and complete work to accommodate client requirements
timeframe:
according to job requirements.
Assessor requirements
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
