List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Prepare for work | 1.1 | Patterns, work instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted |
| | 1.2 | Work health safety (WHS) requirements relevant to the operation of joining mouldings, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.3 | The process for obtaining materials/components and moving completed work to the next process is identified |
| | 1.4 | Required components, attachments, tools and equipment are identified |
| | 1.5 | Work sequence is planned to suit the job |
2 | Prepare for frame assembly | 2.1 | Components of the frame are selected and checked against work instructions for size, number, pattern and finish profile |
| | 2.2 | Fixing and joining devices are selected in accordance with work instructions and type of moulding to be joined |
| | 2.3 | Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety |
| | 2.4 | Shortages/defective items are notified in accordance with workplace practices |
3 | Assemble frame | 3.1 | Components are laid out and joined using a jig (if required) and appropriate fastenings |
| | 3.2 | Assembled frame is checked for alignment, pattern matching (if appropriate), correct number and fitting of fasteners and other attachments and conformity to work instruction and quality requirements |
| | 3.3 | Corners are finished in accordance with workplace requirements |
| | 3.4 | Joined frames are stored according to workplace requirements |
4 | Complete work | 4.1 | Completed frames are inspected for quality, with those not meeting specification being repaired or tagged for further processing or recycling/disposal |
| | 4.2 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures |
| | 4.3 | Equipment faults are identified, tagged and reported to appropriate personnel |
| | 4.4 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate |
| | 4.5 | Workplace documentation is completed as required |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Join each of the following frames (at least one of them being a multi-angle frame) up to a width of 100 mm:
synthetic
timber
aluminium
and each in the following profiles:
flat
traditional
reverse
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Type, characteristics, uses and limitations of moulding materials
Workplace safety system requirements related to joining picture frame mouldings
Work flow in relation to frame production
Operation of tools and equipment used in the assembly process
Identification of equipment, processes and procedures
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to timber, metal or synthetic mouldings, frame components, consumables and workplace procedures.
