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 work area 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 mounting problems avoid reworking and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to mounting artwork including tools equipment calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the type characteristics uses and limitations of the various methods of mounting artwork

the techniques method equipment and materials used to mount artwork

types of artwork suitable for the various techniques of mounting artwork and the characteristics and interactions between the materials used

quality and aesthetic requirements in mounting artwork

workplace safety system requirements related to mounting artwork

workflow in relation to mounting artwork

awareness of the effect of this process on the artwork

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

Identify adjust and safely operate equipment

Identify materials ensuring quality and aesthetics to be used in the work process

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information to set up operate adjust and monitor equipment used to appropriately mount artwork

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

As a minimum demonstrate the ability to mount items of artwork in each form of mounting

wet

dry

laminating

pressure roller

hinging

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Appropriate mounting andor laminating equipment for the technique being assessed artwork consumables standard operating procedures and work area

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 mounting equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Unit context
