Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to materials, work orders, plans and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities, including the preparation 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 use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate coating problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage use limited workplace technology related to coating |
Required knowledge |
characteristics, limitations and uses of coating materials required for the project coating application equipment, techniques and safe working procedures basic repair techniques to defects in timber surfaces safe handling of materials associated with applying coatings |
Evidence Required
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 | Manufacturer specifications and operational procedures Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication |
Resource Implications | Safe work area, coating materials, timber components/furnishings requiring finishing and cleaning materials. |
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 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. |
Range Statement
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 and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements Work requires individual to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the accurate application of polish |
