Elements and Performance Criteria
- Clarify and review fabrication plans
- Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to reading and interpreting timber truss, floor and/or frame fabrication plans are identified and followed
- Work order and fabrication plans are reviewed and clarified with appropriate personnel
- Drawing views and notes are interpreted and design requirements and restrictions are identified and complied with
- Additional information and data is obtained from appropriate personnel and sources if required
- Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS and organisational requirements
- Interpret and read fabrication plans
- Plans, work requirements and sequencing are identified, interpreted and applied to assembling components
