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 | Prepare for work | 1.1 | Patterns, work instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted |
| | 1.2 | Work health safety (WHS) requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.3 | The process for obtaining materials/components and moving completed work to the next process is identified |
| | 1.4 | Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety |
| | 1.5 | Cutting equipment components and controls, including emergency stops and guards, are identified |
| | 1.6 | Work sequence is planned to suit the job |
2 | Conduct cutting operation | 2.1 | Equipment is operated and monitored to ensure correct cut quality, output and that wastage is within allowable limits |
| | 2.2 | Problems occurring during work operations are identified and reported to appropriate persons |
| | 2.3 | Authorised changes in working procedures are followed |
| | 2.4 | Routine lubrication and adjustments for the equipment are completed |
| | 2.5 | Items which do not meet quality requirements are repaired or discarded |
| | 2.6 | Finished work is inspected for compliance with work order, workplace requirements and finish |
3 | Complete work | 3.1 | Scraps and off-cuts are removed for disposal/recycling as required by workplace procedures |
| | 3.2 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate |
| | 3.3 | Workplace documentation is completed as required |
| | 3.4 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures |
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
Cut mouldings for a picture frame (up to 100 mm wide) of each of the following materials:
timber (multi-angle and 45 degrees)
aluminium (45 degrees)
synthetic (45 degrees)
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
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
Type, characteristics, uses and limitations of moulding materials
Types, characteristics and applications of cutting machines and devices
Types, uses and operation of tools
Techniques for cutting frame mouldings
Workplace safety system requirements related to cutting frame mouldings
Work flow in relation to cutting frame mouldings
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 guillotines, static mounted circular saws, docking saws and mitre saws fitted with appropriate blades, standard operating procedures and unprocessed materials.
