Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit covers the competency to set up, operate and maintain mechanical coating systems in order to apply coatings to specifications.

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

Prerequisites

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.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Locate, interpret and apply information relevant to the materials being applied and the application equipment

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

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Select and apply surface coatings, including the adjustment of spray equipment to effect required coating using a minimum of two different mechanical systems:

curtain coater

electrostatic

tumbler

dipping

roller coater (UV)

automatic (robotic) spray equipment

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Mechanical spray systems and equipment, spray booth, coatings and cleaning products.

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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.

Context of Assessment

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

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to coating system and machines, coating materials, work orders, plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the notification of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate paint requirements and other material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate coating problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage

use workplace technology related to mechanical coating systems, including machines, tools, equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

identification of mechanical spray system equipment, processes and procedures

characteristics of the coatings and base materials in terms of toxicity, reactivity, flammability, required viscosity and re-coatability

effects of the fumes, heat and other radiations on surface coatings

the methods to prevent contamination of surfaces during and after surface coating

workflow in relation to spraying operations

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the application of surface coatings

Surface coating operations

This unit covers work involved in the application of surface coatings by mechanical methods other than by conventional hand-held spray gun or airless spray gun

Surface coatings are to include: a minimum of two of those required for curtain coating, UV coating, tumbling, dipping and electrostatic powder coating tasks

Tools and equipment are to include:

computerised spray system

electrostatic spray gun

baking oven

barrel tumbler

spray booth

liquid containers

air compressor and hoses

screwdrivers

shifting spanner and spanners

ford cup

Materials to be applied may include but are not limited to:

stains

lacquers

wax

oil

two-pack polyurethane

three-pack polyester

enamels

acrylics

powder coating

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the use of tools and equipment

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

Manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
