Issue Date: May 2024


This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in the manufacture and installation of security screens and grills. This unit applies to a factory or an on-site installation environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a production worker and trades skills level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual's job and authority.

This unit specifies the outcomes required for the use of security screens and grills hand and power tools and includes identification, selection, preparation, use and storage of hand and power tools. The unit includes operator maintenance.

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.

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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Adopt and carry out correct procedures prior to and during use of hand and power tools prescribed in the Range Statement

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and establish safe practices and procedures for manufacturing/installation operations

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

prevent damage to surrounds, goods, tools, equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

apply hand and power tools correctly and safely

complete operator maintenance on hand and power tools

store tools correctly

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts an environment

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to manufacturing or fitting security screens and grills

specifications and work instructions

the full range of routinely used security screens and grills power and hand tools

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Submission Requirements
