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. |
Information includes: | diagrams or sketches instructions issued by authorised organisational or external personnel manufacturer specifications and instructions, where specified MSDS memos regulatory and legislative requirements pertaining to preparation for the waterproofing construction process relevant Australian standards safe work procedures relating to preparation for the waterproofing construction process signage verbal, written and graphical instructions work bulletins work schedules, plans and specifications. |
