Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare for work
  2. Check and prepare for spraying
  3. Apply surface coating
  4. Clean work area and maintain equipment

Required Skills

Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to coating system coating 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 complete measurements calculate area and estimate paint requirements and other material requirements

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

use the workplace technology related to CNC coating systems including machines tools equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

identification of CNC coating system equipment processes and procedures

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

effects of the fumes heat and other radiations on surface coatings

the methods to prevent contamination of surfaces during and after surface coating

workflow in relation to spraying operations

Evidence Required

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 materials being applied and the application equipment

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 and others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Select and apply surface coatings including the adjustment of system controls to effect required coating using a minimum of two different CNC systems

Maintain equipment and work area including spray booth

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

CNC coating systems and equipment spray booth coatings and cleaning products

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 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


Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements
