Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to repair body components using lead wiping
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Lead wiping materials are selected and checked for quality and safety data sheets (SDS) are identified and interpreted
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Lead wiping tools and equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are identified and checked for serviceability
   • Work area is prepared and work is planned to minimise waste and use time efficiently
2. Apply lead wiping for repair
   • Metal on body panel to be repaired is cleaned thoroughly and prepared for tinning
   • Tinning paste is applied to metal surface according to product manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
   • Body solder is heated to workable consistency and shaped using appropriate lead wiping tool
   • Lead wiping is carried out according to safety and environmental requirements
   • Repair area is filed using a body file and finished to pre-paint condition and workplace standards
3. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and components are presented ready for painting
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
   • Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
   • Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
