Required Skills

Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to work orders basic plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with work 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 quantities and estimate material requirements

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

use the limited workplace technology related to the joining of picture frame mouldings including design aids tools equipment calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the type characteristics uses and limitations of moulding materials

workplace safety system requirements related to joining picture frame mouldings

workflow in relation to frame production

operation of tools and equipment used in the assembly process

identification of equipment processes and procedures

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

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

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

Identify and assemble components attachments tools and materials required to join picture frames to specification and required pattern including pattern matching

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

As a minimum demonstrate the ability to join each of the following frames at least one of them being a multiangle frame up to a width of mm

synthetic

timber

aluminium

and each in the following profiles

flat

traditional

reverse

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Timber metal or synthetic mouldings frame components consumables workplace procedures appropriate work area tools and equipment

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 units of competency which together form a part of the job role

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant frame joining 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 scope
