Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Read and understand job sheets
   • Job sheets/instruction are correctly interpreted and followed.
2. Select and use sheet and plate assembly equipment
   • Assembly equipment is selected in accordance with instructions on job sheet.
   • Equipment is used in a safe manner according to standard operating procedures.
3. Assemble fabrications
   • Products to be assembled are verified against specifications.
   • Assembly is produced following correct sequence of operations.
   • Assemblies/fabrications are joined to specification using specified joining techniques.
   • Assembly is tested/checked for compliance with job requirements using standard operating procedures.
4. Protect assembly from damage
   • Assemblies/fabrications are handled and stored according to standard operating procedures and in a safe manner least likely to cause damage.

Required Skills

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in reading interpreting and following written job sheets instructions standard operating procedures and other applicable reference documents checking and clarifying routine familiar information selecting and using specified assembly equipment and tools following sequence of operations joining the componentsfabrications correctly and safely using appropriate techniques testing and checking assembled products for compliance with specifications handling and storing components fabrications andor assemblies checking for conformance to specifications following oral instructions

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of the importance of following the sequence of operations application and function of assembly equipment safety precautions and operating characteristics of assembly equipment and tools application and limitations of different joining techniques surface preparation and joining techniques assembly testschecks safe handling and storage procedures applicable to components fabrications andor assemblies effects of inappropriate handling and storage procedures hazards and control measures associated with sheet and plate assembly use and application of personal protective equipment safe work practices and procedures for sheet and plate assembly

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
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to assemble prefabricatedformed components using a variety of joining techniques Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledges and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both Where assessment occurs off the job ie the candidate is not in productive work an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with sheet and plate assembly or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

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.
Assembly equipment	Jigs, fixtures and other appropriate tools
Joining techniques	Seaming, bonding, riveting, welding etc.
