Critical aspects of evidence | Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information Identify materials, ensuring quality and aesthetics, to be used in the work process Develop mat decorations, including colour and design Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment, safety and environmental protection 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 Demonstrate the following on any size mat boards: cut V groove cut mat with decorative corners apply wash panels/lines apply decorative transfers Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment |
Resource implications | Mat cutting equipment, inks, paints and application equipment, mat boards, work orders, standard operating procedures and 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 which form a part of the job role. |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant cutting and decorating equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
