Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan for work | 1.1. Work requirements in the form of type of insect or security screen to be fabricated and installed are identified from work instructions. This includes the identification of its pattern or plan 1.2. Workplace health and safety requirements for fabrication and installation of insect or security screens, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work 1.3. The process for fabricating and installing insect or security screens is identified 1.4. Quantities of materials required are calculated from plans or work instructions or by measuring the screen opening in accordance with Australian Standards and industry practice 1.5. Cutting lists are prepared from plans, work instructions or measurements of opening to suit the type of screen to be installed 1.6. Fittings, fixings and joining devices or materials are selected in line with specifications or type of materials to be joined or fixed 1.7. Tools and equipment appropriate to the work method are identified |
2. Prepare for work | 2.1. Work sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job 2.2. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition 2.3. Components of the insect or security screen are checked against specifications or job order for: size, quantity, finish and profile |
3. Fabricate and install insect or security screen | 3.1. Materials are measured and marked to cutting list requirements and most economical use of materials 3.2. Materials are cut and stamped to cutting list requirements in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice 3.3. Components of insect or security screen are assembled in accordance with recognised industry standards 3.4. Fittings are installed to screen in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice 3.5. Insect or security screen is installed in opening in accordance with recognised industry standards |
4. Complete work | 4.1. Installed insect or security screen is inspected for quality of work and repaired, refabricated or reinstalled as required in accordance with workplace procedures 4.2. Material which can be reused is collected and stored 4.3. Waste and scrap materials are removed for disposal or recycling as required 4.4. Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate 4.5. Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and removed and stored appropriately 4.6. Workplace documentation is completed in accordance with workplace requirements |
Required Skills

Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of 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 work requirements, optimise glass sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage use the limited workplace technology related to the fabrication and installation of insect and security screens |
Required knowledge |
workflow in relation to the fabrication and installation of insect and security screens characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced workplace safety system requirements related to fabricating and installing insect and security screens identification of equipment, processes and procedures relevant Australian Standards |
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 | Plan the fabrication and installation of insect and security screens Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to fabricate and install insect and security screens 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 As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to: measure for insect and security windows and doors identify and select product materials used within the industry/workplace fabricate frame and components, including optimisation of materials, cutting, tooling, drilling and crimping to ensure compliance to Australian Standards identify, select and install component hardware including wheels, hinges, guides, locks and closures assemble frames including mesh and grills to comply with Australian Standard requirements apply fixing techniques and procedures relating to the correct installation of insect and security screens, doors and window grills apply current Australian Standards and type testing procedures calculate cost of insect and security screens and doors Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment. |
Resource implications | Aluminium framing material, aluminium security grill material, aluminium sheeting, insect screen mesh, fittings, fixing/fasteners, workplace operating procedures, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area. |
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 fabrication and installation equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
