Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Check work requirements
   • Identify work requirements
   • Check materials and equipment meet requirements for job
   • Interpret plans, patterns, designs or specifications
   • Recognise requirements which may not be in accordance with usual practice
   • Ask questions of appropriate person to confirm unusual practice
   • Identify hazards associated with the job and apply appropriate hazard controls
   • Complete records as required

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Work requirements	Work requirements will be determined from one or more of the following: job/shop orders plans/specifications procedures other processes used in an enterprise
Procedures	All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures. Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or more of the following: work instructions standard operating procedures (SOPs) safe work method statements (SWMS) temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant
Polymer fabrication	Polymer fabrication includes one or more of the following: forming processes, such as bending, heating, holding in a jig fixture or other methods of achieving the required shape mechanical, chemical, thermal or other fixing methods
Tools and equipment	Tools and equipment include one or more of the following: power saws, jig saws and thermal cutting devices drilling, riveting, bolting and stitching hand tools relevant personal protective equipment (PPE)
Hazards	Hazards include one or more of the following: heat, smoke, dust or other atmospheric hazards equipment failures industrial (machinery, equipment and product) equipment or product mass noise, rotational equipment or vibration hazardous products and materials unauthorised personnel sharp edges, protrusions or obstructions, swarf and scrap slippery surfaces, spills or leaks extreme weather fibres (airborne and handled) manual handling power tools, leads and power supplies other hazards that might arise
Routine problems	Routine problems must be resolved by applying known solutions. Routine problems are predictable and include one or more of the following: pattern incorrect marking errors wear and breakage loss of power or drives controller sequence and timer issues sequencing problems Known solutions are drawn from one or more of: procedures training remembered experience Non-routine problems must be reported according to according to relevant procedures.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:

check the requirements of the job

identify hazards associated with the job/work environment and apply appropriate hazard controls

prepare for the fabrication as required

complete the fabrication to specification

apply known solutions to routine problems.

---

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

hazards and hazard controls specific to the types of fabrication undertaken

different types of materials used and their behaviour when joined

different forming and joining equipment used and suitability for materials

types and causes of known problems for the types of fabrication undertaken

corrective action appropriate to the problem cause.
