Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify products, fittings and attachments to be used
   • Type of motorised curtain or blind to be installed is identified from work order
   • Required materials and tools are identified from work instructions and, where necessary, site inspection
   • Location of available power point is checked for suitability
   • Installation of power point in suitable location is arranged, if required
2. Plan process for fitting
   • Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including ergonomic criteria and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
   • Appropriate equipment is identified to minimise risks of damage to customers' premises or injuries to self
   • Manufacturer information on products used is located and used to plan work
   • Attachment process is planned to conform to quality requirements, minimise time, economically use materials and maximise appearance of the finished work
   • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
3. Complete fitting operations
   • Work plan is followed ensuring compliance with workplace procedures and WHS requirements
   • Tracks or blinds are installed and tested for correct operation
   • Curtains are attached to tracks and checked for smooth and even operation and hanging, including limits
   • Curtain or blind height and floor clearance is checked and compared to work order requirement
4. Clean work area
   • Worksite and any equipment used is cleaned and stored appropriately
   • Unserviceable equipment is tagged, faults are identified and appropriate personnel are informed
   • Completed work is inspected and compared to workplace quality requirements
   • Fittings, curtains and blinds which do not meet quality specifications are repaired on-site or returned to the workroom for repair
