This section specifies 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. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Resources must include:

materials for welding

welding equipment, including:

GMAW

GMAW wire

shielding gas

tips, liners and nozzles

welding face shield

materials and equipment for preventing distortion during welding, including braces, clamps, jigs and fixtures

materials and equipment for non-destructive testing of welds

workplace welding standards and WHS requirements relevant to the work being performed.

Workplace procedures must include:

operating procedures of GMAW equipment

procedures for recording and reporting GMAW processes

WHS and environmental requirements relating to GMAW procedures.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
