2.3 | Resilient sheets for fixing are organised and used in accordance with relevant safety management requirements |
2.4 | Working lines and starting point are established |
2.5 | Pre-form fillet is cut and fitted, if required |
2.6 | Feathering systems and applications are prepared and applied in accordance with the installation plan |
3 | Install resilient sheet | 3.1 | Instructions and sequence for laying and fixing is followed |
3.2 | Resilient sheets are laid out to meet directional sequence, pattern match, specification requirements, and to minimise waste and joins as appropriate |
3.3 | The aesthetics of the materials is maximised, where appropriate, matching grains, colours and patterns |
3.4 | Pattern templates of the bench/counter tops are produced, if required |
3.5 | Resilient sheets are accurately and clearly marked for cutting |
3.6 | Resilient sheets are cut to required pattern and shape with minimum waste of materials, allowing for final adjustment, trimming and welding processes |
3.7 | Header and/or perimeter contact adhesive is applied to surfaces |
3.8 | Resilient sheets are positioned in accordance with the plan, pressed out and hand-rolled |
3.9 | Resilient sheet is heated to form required profiles |
3.10 | Seams are prepared and welded in accordance with the plan, manufacturer instructions and industry standards |
3.11 | Joins and/or seams are trimmed and finished to industry standards |
3.12 | Completed installation is checked for flaws in installation and materials and faults rectified following workplace procedures |
4 | Complete housekeeping | 4.1 | Unused materials are stored or recycled as required |
4.2 | Tools and equipment are cleaned and stored appropriately |
4.3 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of appropriately |
4.4 | Workplace documentation is completed |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Complete, including rod and self welding and fusion welding requirements, a minimum of:
one (1) installation of resilient sheets to a bench/counter top which must include:

Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its 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 materials, equipment and specifications relevant to installing resilient sheet to bench and counter tops
