AURHTA001 Carry out heavy vehicle pre-repair cleaning
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to clean a heavy vehicle body and its major components before beginning repairs. It involves preparing for the task, cleaning the vehicle body and components by mechanical or chemical means, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation to entering the automotive service and repair or automotive manufacturing industry. The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
3.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures
3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
clean three of the following heavy vehicle systems or components:
vehicle body
engine
transmission
final drive
steering and suspension system
wheels and hubs
chassis
electrical component
fuel system component
use chemical cleaning when cleaning one of the above systems or components.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) relating to heavy vehicle pre-repair cleaning, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using cleaning tools and equipment
safely handling cleaning agents
controlling hazards, including hazardous materials and toxic substances
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of cleaning agents and contaminants
cleaning procedures, techniques and materials appropriate for mechanical and chemical components, and relevant to the task instructions
protective treatment and storage procedures for cleaned heavy vehicle components.
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 or third-party observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party observation, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the heavy vehicles or components that they have cleaned before repair, 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 workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer cleaning material specifications
heavy vehicle systems and components specified in the performance evidence requiring pre-repair cleaning
cleaning equipment, cleaning agents, materials and tools appropriate for pre-repair cleaning.
