Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for work
  • Workplace information, including materials application and safety information, material safety data sheets is used to inform work practices
  • Characteristics of the surface and the required surface finish are identified from work orders or instructions
  • Processing and application techniques, time and safety requirements are identified and used for work planning
  • OHS requirements, including ventilation requirements and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation for the surface finishing task
       
Element: Prepare for application of materials
  • Surfaces are checked for contamination and correct preparation according to workplace procedures and standards
  • Products with surface or other faults are identified and faults repaired as appropriate
  • Finishing materials required are identified and prepared for the task
  • Trial applications of surface materials are made to check equipment operation, materials consistency and specified surface finish
  • Faults are identified and workplace procedures for rectification are followed
       
Element: Apply finishing materials
  • Techniques for hand application of materials are identified
  • Finishing materials are applied according to job instructions, material manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
  • Finished products are inspected and approved for suitability for further processing
  • Products which do not meet quality specifications are refinished or tagged for further investigation
       
Element: Clean work area and maintain equipment
  • Equipment used is cleaned and inspected for serviceable condition and stored appropriately
  • Unserviceable equipment is tagged, faults are identified and appropriate personnel are informed
  • Work area is cleaned and returned to approved condition
  • Workplace records are completed
       


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 and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Prepare for and apply coatings by hand on a minimum of five occasions covering:

the three surface types

the four coatings detailed in the Range Statement

Maintain application equipment

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Hand finishing application equipment, coating materials, waxes and oils and surfaces to be coated.

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 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

(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 coating materials, cleaning materials, work orders 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 coating equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, 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, calculate area, estimate paint requirements and other material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate coating problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to coating, including tools, equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

identification of hand application techniques

characteristics of coatings, waxes and oils in terms of toxicity, reactivity, flammability, required viscosity.

the methods to prevent contamination of surfaces during and after finishing

workflow in relation to the application of finishing material

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 may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substance and dangerous goods codes 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 discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the application of surface coatings

Coatings are to include:

one-pot polyurethane

enamel

acrylic and polish

Application methods are to include:

brush and swooge

Surfaces may include but are not limited to:

solid timber

manufactured board

metal

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

sanders

pneumatic or low-voltage electric buff

rubber sanding block

brushes and swooges

Materials may include but are not limited to:

water

detergent

wax

oil

enamel

acrylic

one-pot polyurethane

polish

methylated spirits

turpentine

terebine

abrasive papers

cotton rags

steel wool

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the use and operation of tools and equipment

Workplace instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communications

Manufacturer specifications and operational 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.
