Apply safe handling practices for equipment products and materials

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

Install at least four different types of window dressings which must include curtains and tiebacks

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Curtains tracks decorative window finishings 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
