Unit of Competency | MSAPCII298A - Make an object from metal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This competency standard covers the skills required to make an object from metal in accordance with the requirements of an established design and in a simulated or trial manufacturing environment where there is a high degree of direct supervision. . The elements of this unit should always be assessed in conjunction with other units that relate to the requirements of a specified work or job function. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to a learning and assessment environment where access to normal production operations is not available. A typical environment will be for application in a VET in Schools delivery environment or other simulated or trial manufacturing environment where a high degree of supervision exists.This unit applies to the manufacture of a simple metal object such as: small decorative box, with or without a lid; desk pencil holder; metallic photo album; cabinet; shelving; CD rack; metallic picture frame etc.Training and assessment against this competency unit must incorporate all relevant OHS and related legislative requirements.The unit should be regarded as an integrating unit which has application in Certificate I and II qualifications that act as general introductory qualifications to manufacturing industry. It should be applied to a specific 'project' or task which has a defined beginning, middle and end, occurs over an extended period of time, and is reflective of the particular sector of the Manufacturing industry and/or organisation. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

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. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Knowledge and application of relevant sections of: occupational, health and safety legislation; statutory legislation; enterprise/site safety procedures; enterprise/site emergency procedures preparation and planning of work lay out, marking off/out and developing techniques and procedures fabrication techniques shaping techniques cutting techniques perform normal operator maintenance of work area to enable work to be conducted safely and efficiently relevant standards and procedures completion of work procedures |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
Specific resources required for assessment | Access to plans, hand and/or power tools, equipment, materials and a work area. Access is required to opportunities and appropriate resources to either: carry out a range of suitably simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to work safely (usually as part of a holistic assessment involving other competency units; and/or participate in actual workplace activities that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to work safely |

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 |
apply occupational health and safety standards observe relevant statutory requirements and codes of practice use, update and where appropriate produce sketches and basic drawings select materials and resources use and apply basic quality standards apply quality procedures communicate effectively communicate ideas and information to obtain confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination with other workers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems. collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures. plan and organise activities, including preparation for work and obtaining equipment and materials. work with others and in a team to optimise efficient workflow and productivity. apply pre-checking and quality techniques to anticipate construction problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage. use of routine workplace tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices. Depending on the object to be made required skills may also include: use cutting and heating equipment use of mechanical cutting equipment use of workshop plant and equipment use of hand and portable power tools |
Required knowledge |
the interpretation of a plan representing the product to be made the concept of workflow and its relation to manufacture of objects identification of appropriate hand and power tools, materials, equipment, processes and procedures. occupational health and safety standards and practices. relevant statutory requirements and codes of practice hand and portable power tools and their application mechanical cutting techniques paints, sealants and glues jigs and templates workshop plant and equipment manufacture and assembly techniques common materials used in the manufacture of metal objects mathematical techniques communication principles |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
