Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to braze components
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Technical information is accessed and interpreted to enable brazing to be performed according to manufacturer specifications
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Tools and equipment, including PPE, are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work is planned to identify brazing methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently
2. Complete brazing procedures
   • Oxyacetylene equipment is set up, gauges and working pressures are set, and flames are adjusted according to equipment manufacturer operating procedures and workplace procedures
   • Brazing operations are conducted according to job requirements, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Brazing procedures are completed without causing damage to components or systems
3. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and component is presented ready for use
   • 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
