Resolve quality and compliance issues

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in furnishing operations of all sizes. The resolution of quality and compliance issues applies to a factory/onsite environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a trade and, in some cases, production worker level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual's job and authority.

This unit covers the resolving of routine quality and compliance issues in the fabrication, assembly and installation of security screens and grills.

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

Location, interpretation and application of relevant information, standards and specifications

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for fault rectification

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Compliance with enterprise policies and procedures including quality requirements

Inspect and assess of a minimum of three separate and different quality and two compliance issues and have recommendations accepted

Safe and effective operational use of tools and equipment

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 of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

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 rectifying quality and compliance issues in the manufacturing and/or installation of security screens and grills

specifications, standards and work instructions

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 may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

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
