Interpret work order, locate materials and use information to complete tasks in constructing metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings
Apply safe handling practices and safe operating procedures for equipment, products and materials to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
Construct one (1) metal louvred awning and one (1) metal canopy-hooded awning. Task is to include selecting materials and hardware; machining material as required by manufacturer of metal stock; assembling awnings; cleaning, packaging and storing awnings; cleaning work area; maintaining and storing equipment; and completing workplace documentation and reports, such as reporting material faults, damaged products or equipment
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for constructing metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings
Organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for constructing metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings
Reading and interpreting workplace documents, including work orders, work instructions and operator instructions
Environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material
Established lines of communication and protocols
Types of tools and equipment used to construct metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Terms used to describe components of metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings
Characteristics of metals used in the construction of metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings
Set-up, operation and maintenance of static machines used in the construction of metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings
Storage systems and labelling
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Mathematical techniques for estimation and measurement of materials
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or it successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to a location relevant to constructing metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings; and workplace practices, including standard operating procedures for constructing metal louvre and canopy-hooded style awnings.
