Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Establish work requirements and prepare for work | 1.1 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, legislative requirements and workplace practices are observed throughout the work |
1.2 | Personal protective equipment is selected and used |
1.3 | Work order requirements are checked and confirmed |
1.4 | Tools and equipment are selected and checked for safe operation |
1.5 | Material and hardware is selected and checked against work requirements with material checked for flaws |
2 | Cut materials ready for assembly | 2.1 | Folding arms are selected following work order and workplace practices |
2.2 | Roller, front rail and square head rail are cut |
2.3 | Correct side of material and pattern direction is identified |
2.4 | Material for skin is laid out laid out flat and square on a cutting table large enough to take full width of material, marked using chalk, markers or pencil and cut |
2.5 | Material is joined to form awning skin |
2.6 | Measurements are checked against work order |
3 | Construct awning | 3.1 | Arm assembly is constructed following manufacturer instructions |
3.2 | Roller and front rail are attached to skin |
3.3 | Skin is fitted to arm assembly |
4 | Make quality checks | 4.1 | Completed awnings are checked ensuring finished product matches work order |
4.2 | Completed awning is tested within the limitations of normal operation to ensure correct and safe operation and parts of the work that do not comply with work order are repaired or re-worked |
5 | Complete work | 5.1 | Finished work is cleaned, packaged with installation hardware and stored following workplace practices |
5.2 | Tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored |
5.3 | Faulty tools and equipment are reported to appropriate personnel |
5.4 | Work area is cleaned and waste is disposed of in accordance with workplace practices and environmental legislation covering disposal of industrial waste |
5.5 | Workplace documentation is completed |
Interpret work order, locate materials and use information to complete tasks in constructing folding-arm 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
Identify materials and equipment used in constructing folding-arm style awnings
Select, set up and maintain equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace practices
Construct a minimum of two (2) folding-arm style awnings. Task is to include constructing the arm assembly; preparing skin; assembling awning; cleaning, packaging and storing completed awning; cleaning work area; and completing workplace documentation, 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 folding-arm style awnings
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for constructing folding-arm 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 and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Terms used to describe components of folding-arm style awnings
Characteristics of materials used to construct folding-arm 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 folding-arm style awnings; and workplace practices, including standard operating procedures and work instructions, for constructing folding-arm style awnings.
