decals.
Evidence of Knowledge
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing and replacing adhesive attached components on vehicles, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using manual handling and storage techniques
using tools and equipment
handling and storing adhesives
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
methods and techniques for removing different types of adhesive attached components, including suitable removal methods and tools
methods and techniques for replacing different types of adhesive attached components, including:
fastening methods: adhesive and mechanical methods
types and application of adhesives
procedures for final inspection of replaced adhesive attached components.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the adhesive attached components they have removed and replaced on vehicles, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
vehicles requiring removal and replacement of adhesive attached components
protector mouldings, transfers, badges and decals to be removed and replaced
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and replacing adhesive attached components, including:
adhesive tape
required PPE.
