Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to spray systems and equipment maintenance materials work orders plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with site supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly estimate material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate maintenance problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to maintenance including machines tools equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

identification of spray system equipment processes and procedures

the types characteristics and maintenance requirements for spray booth services including at a minimum ventilation lighting water and electrical reticulation

characteristics of the coatings and base materials in terms of toxicity reactivity and flammability

types characteristics uses and limitations of cleaning solvents and agents

effects of the fumes heat and other radiations on surface coatings

material safety management systems

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Locate interpret and apply information relevant to the spray equipment and booth services

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods equipment or products

maintain required standards and quality

Disassemble maintain and reassemble at least two different spray systems

Maintain a booth and booth services on at least two occasions

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Spray systems and equipment spray booth cleaning and maintenance materials

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Unit context

Spray equipment may include:

Booths
