  2. Assemble package
  3. Complete work

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 work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking 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 assembly problems avoid reworking and damage

use the limited workplace technology related to the assembly of simple artwork packages

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to assembly of artwork package

identification of materials components equipment processes and procedures appropriate for assembling artwork packages

construction techniques and processes for the components of the artwork packages

industry standards and workplace practices in the assembly of simple artwork packages

be aware of the effect of this process on the artwork

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 identify the artwork to be framed and the required package components

Complete package assembly without damage to the object

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 assemble three artwork packages given a range of components and specifications

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Components of artwork package work instructions work procedures work area tools and 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 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 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.
