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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, designs, project sheets or work instructions |
| 1.2 | Identify the workplace, health and safety (WHS) practices and procedures to be used |
| 1.3 | Locate, read and interpret the appropriate material safety data sheets (MSDS) |
2 | Plan and prepare for work | 2.1 | Identify the characteristics of the surface and the required surface coating materials |
| 2.2 | Identify procedures for surface preparation according to the surface and surface coating materials being used |
| 2.3 | Identify and set up tools, equipment and related controls, including safety guards, in accordance with work instructions |
| 2.4 | Identify and exclude sources of contamination in the work area |
3 | Prepare surfaces | 3.1 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 3.2 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with procedures |
| 3.3 | Prepare surfaces using appropriate materials in accordance with specifications and work instructions |
| 3.4 | Rectify all surface preparation faults as required |
| 3.5 | Label and store prepared product ready for the next process |
4 | Check work area and maintain equipment | 4.1 | Clean equipment and inspect for serviceable condition and store and report faulty and/or defective equipment in accordance with procedures |
| 4.2 | Store or dispose of materials according to procedures |
| 4.3 | Clean and maintain work area |
