Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to repair corroded panel sections
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Repair material is selected and checked for quality
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work is planned to identify repair methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently
2. Remove corroded sections
   • Corroded vehicle body panel and components are identified
   • Body section is assessed to determine appropriate repair method
   • Corroded panel is removed according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to vehicle or components
   • Assistance is sought from authorised personnel where removal of components disturbs vehicle trim or electrical, mechanical or air conditioning systems
3. Reform and replace corroded sections
   • Repair material is selected according to vehicle manufacturer specifications
   • Corroded panel section is measured and formed use forming equipment
   • Panel section is repaired or reformed using approved methods and equipment
   • Repaired corroded section is replaced, welded and finished
   • Replaced section is checked for compliance against vehicle manufacturer specifications
4. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and panel is 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
