Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for surface preparation
  • Characteristics of the surface and the required surface coating materials are identified
  • OHS requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Tools and equipment required, related engineering controls identified and set up
  • Sources of contamination in work area are identified and excluded
  • Workplace procedures for surface preparation are identified and followed according to the surface and surface coating materials being used
       
Element: Prepare surfaces
  • Surfaces are prepared according to workplace procedures and specification
  • Surface preparation is checked for conformity with workplace specifications throughout the process
  • Rectification of surface preparation faults are made as required
  • Products are inspected and approved for suitability for further processing
  • Defects are rectified and/or reported in accordance with workplace procedures
       
Element: Clean work area and maintain equipment
  • Prepared products are packed, stored and labelled ready for next process
  • Equipment used is cleaned and inspected for serviceable condition and stored appropriately
  • Unserviceable equipment is tagged, faults are identified and appropriate personnel are informed
  • Chemicals used are stored or disposed of correctly according to regulations
  • Work area is cleaned ready for next process or task
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Prepare surfaces on a minimum of four occasions, including:

horizontal surface

vertical surface

internal surface

curved surface (moulding)

Surfaces are to include:

solid hardwood

solid softwood

veneered board

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Resource Implications

Range of surfaces to be prepared, preparation tools, equipment and consumables.

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, hazardous substances and materials and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate surface preparation problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the preparation of surfaces, including manual and pressure tools, equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the types, properties and characteristics of coatings

surface preparation techniques and equipment/ materials

hazardous substances and materials used in surface preparation

workflow in relation to the application and removal of surface coatings

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.

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the preparation of surfaces

Surfaces

Surfaces to be prepared may include but are not limited to:

solid timber

manufactured board

metal

Tools and equipment are to include:

measuring tapes and rulers

squares

hammer

nail punch

liquid containers

brushes

cabinet scrapers

file

oil stone

steel wool/scourers

sanding blocks

steam iron

chisels

power sanders

air compressor and hoses

fixed belt/stroke sander

Tools and equipment may also include:

plane

spanners

screwdrivers

clamps

drill

mallet

vice

saw

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.
