Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to plan and set up the assembly of timber floor trusses using a purpose built jig or computer-operated truss table and to oversee the operation of the truss press. The unit applies to machine operators and product technicians in a timber and wood products production environment at either a truss/frame fabrication facility or timber merchant’s facility.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

timber floor truss assembly tools and equipment which must include one or more of the following:

measuring equipment

electric circular saws

docking saws

drills

assembly jigs

assembly table

nail plate presses

staple guns

nail guns

compressor or compressed air supply

marking equipment

assembly hardware which must include one or more of the following:

nailing plates

floor truss plates

bracing

supplementary fittings and fixings

nail gun nails and staples

personal protective equipment suitable for setting up timber floor trusses

pre-cut sections of timber

work order and construction plan with specifications for setting up timber floor trusses

template reports for recording assembly outcomes and equipment faults

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

organisational procedures for setting up timber floor trusses

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
