AURVTW008 Carry out oxyacetylene welding, thermal heating and cutting
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: June 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to carry out basic welding, thermal heating and cutting operations. It involves preparing for the task, setting up and operating an oxyacetylene plant, setting gas pressures, identifying and adjusting flame appropriate for welding, thermal heating or cutting requirements, selecting and using suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry.
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)
