  2. Plan process for fitting attachments to products
  3. Complete fitting operations
  4. Clean work area and prepare products for the next process

Required Skills

Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to 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 avoid wastage and estimate material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate fitting and adjustment problems avoid reworking and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the fitting and adjusting tasks including tools equipment calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to fitting customising and adjusting curtain tracks poles and other hardware including bending of tracks

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 practices for equipment products and materials

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

prevent damage to goods equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

Fit and adjust at least five different types of window tracks which must include at least one corddrawn one decorative pole and one conduit This must include at least one ceiling fitted and one face fitted

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Tracks rods poles conduit tools and equipment appropriate quality specifications and instructions

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 will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other 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 may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machines. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment

Curtain hardware may include:

hand-drawn or cord-drawn tracks

decorative rods

poles

cord tensioners and conduit

Fitting and adjustment

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

hand or power operated tools

including drills

hammers

screwdrivers
