ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
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. Set up production processes | 1.1 Identify products, processes and production requirements in line with work order and site procedures. 1.2 Prepare to work safely according to workplace work health and safety (WHS) requirements. 1.3 Inspect equipment, tools and materials for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer recommendations and site procedures. 1.4 Conduct test run, by machining sample material in line with set-up processes and site requirements. 1.5 Inspect machined product for faults and alter setup to rectify identified problems. |
2. Conduct finishing operations | 2.1 Measure and mark material for processing in line with work order and in consultation with appropriate personnel. 2.2 Machine material and identify, remove and repair or dispose of defects in line with site procedures. 2.3 Identify, investigate and resolve equipment faults and routine problems, as required. 2.4 Clear work area and dispose of waste material in line with relevant environmental policies and procedures. |
3. Coat products | 3.1 Identify and plan coating requirements and select coat in line with site procedures. 3.2 Prepare coating area to provide suitable clean area that minimises surface defects during drying, in line with site procedures. 3.3 Open, decant and mix coat in line with manufacturer recommendations and safe work procedure. 3.4 Apply coat according to planned method and sequence in line with manufacturer recommendations and site standards. 3.5 Assess coat regularly to identify and remove faults in line with site standards. 3.6 Dispose of products with coat faults in line with site procedures and environmental requirements. 3.7 Clear work area, store materials and dispose of chemical waste according to site procedures and environmental protection requirements. |
4. Pack finished products | 4.1 Check finished products for faults and conformance, and segregate and store in line with workplace procedure and environmental requirements. 4.2 Interpret packing requirements from work order and other relevant documentation. 4.3 Pack finished products in line with site procedures and work orders, using suitable packing materials. 4.4 Record packaged products in line with site procedures. 4.5 Record and report finishing process to appropriate personnel. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. If a specific volume or frequency is not stated below, then evidence must be provided that the following requirements have been performed on at least one occasion:
set up finishing and coating operations according to workplace requirements and site procedures
conduct finishing and coating operations according to safe work procedures
prepare coating chemicals in line with manufacturer recommendations and site procedures
assess and rectify defects and faults during the coating process in line with safe work procedures
package finished products according to organisational guidelines
record and report faults and finishing and packing process information
perform emergency stop.
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
safe work procedures involved in finishing and packing finished products
emergency response procedures relevant to the job (accident, fire, serious process fault)
environmental protection requirements relating to the safe disposal of waste material (including preservative treated timber), the safe use and storage of chemicals, and the cleaning of plant, tools and equipment
criteria for recycling and re-using material with defects
hazards and risks associated with finishing and coating fabricated products, including environmental hazards and risks
problem identification and resolution strategies, common fault finding techniques, and typical product and coat defects
procedures for the operation and maintenance of tools and equipment
procedures for recording and reporting equipment and product faults, and process information.
The following resources must be made available:
work order
product to coat
coating equipment and tools
coating chemicals
material for packaging
personal protective equipment required for finishing products.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must:
hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and
be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
