Use hand and power tools

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to safely use hand and power tools in the workshop and on the worksite.

It applies to individuals who may work as technical staff and who may make use of safety equipment and workshop facilities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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



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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for work activity

1.1 Identify the type of work to be performed from work instructions

1.2 Select appropriate hand and power tools for work to be performed

1.3 Set up and check tools for use according to available information

1.4 Examine work environment and plan work with tools to maximise safety and productivity

1.5 Clear and clean work area to make it free of obstructions and allow clear access to tools

2. Prepare work piece for tool use

2.1 Mount, support or align work piece correctly to the tool or machine to be used

2.2 Anchor work piece securely where necessary to prevent movement

3. Operate hand and power tools

3.1 Use hand and power tools correctly according to industry and enterprise safe working practices

3.2 Use safety equipment during tool operation according to industry and enterprise safe working practices

3.3 Monitor tool operation continuously and discontinue use if abnormal operation occurs

3.4 Clean work area on completion of work

4. Maintain hand and power tools after use

4.1 Clean and store tools according to industry and enterprise safe working practices

4.2 Report abnormal tool operation or other problems according to established procedures

4.3 Perform programmed maintenance of tools according to work role

4.4 Arrange inspection of power tools according to regulatory requirements

Evidence of ability to:

accurately interpret work orders relevant to selection and use of tools

interpret specifications and instructions relating to materials and equipment on which tools are to be used

prepare work environment and set up tools for safe and effective use

perform work processes following all relevant safety requirements applying to use of hand and power tools

monitor tool operation for correct operation during use

inspect completed work to verify correct tool operation and use

communicate evidence of faults and other problems

comply with all related work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline electrical and compressed air safety

describe equipment types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations

describe features and operating requirements of hand and power tools

outline general housekeeping policies and procedures

define industry and worksite terminology

identify information required to operate equipment according to a test specification

identify job safety analysis (JSA) or safe work method statement

list and describe legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact the work activity

identify manufacturer’s requirements for safe operation of equipment

list materials commonly used in the industry

interpret safety data sheets (SDS) and materials handling methods

outline operational, maintenance and basic diagnostic procedures

identify and describe common power sources

identify specific WHS requirements relating to the activity and site conditions

describe typical issues and challenges that occur onsite.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications network engineering field of work and include access to:

sites where hand and power tools may be used

hand and power tools currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impact the use of hand and power tools.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
