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 | Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to: minimise the risk of injury to self or others prevent damage to goods, equipment or products maintain required production output and product quality Fabricate a minimum of three synthetic solid surface material products, including at least one full benchtop Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment |
Resource Implications | Access to plans, hand and/or power tools, machines, equipment, materials, and a work area. |
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. |
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

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 synthetic solid surface 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 reporting 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 back tracking, 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, calculate area and estimate material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate fabrication problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage use the limited workplace technology related to fabrication, including tools, equipment and measuring devices |
Required knowledge |
the types, characteristics, uses and limitations of synthetic solid surface materials the interpretation of plan representation of furniture design the preparation of drawings and set-outs identification of hand and/or power tools, materials, machines, equipment, processes and procedures workflow in relation to furniture production |
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. | |
Synthetic solid surface products | Synthetic solid surface products are generally acrylic or polyester sheet based materials There are a range of commercially licensed products, including Corian, Aztec, Trezzini and others |
Synthetic solid surface products are to include benchtops and may include: | edges sinks bowls other containers and waterproof wall treatments |
Unit context | OH&S 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 involves reading and interpreting plans, developing set-outs, using hand and/or power tools, equipment and operating machinery |
Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to: | measuring tapes or rulers hammers mallets squares bevels chisels planes hand saws power saws power drills/screwdrivers air compressor and hoses clamps screwdrivers pincers |
Machines may include, but are not limited to: | panel saws routers edge moulders point to point heat applicators sanding and buffing machines |
Materials to be used may include but are not limited to: | synthetic solid surface materials timber manufactured board glues screws nails dowels knockdown fittings |
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, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication Manufacturers' 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.
