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 | Work instructions and discussion with the client are used to identify the reasons for de-framing the item, and parts of the framed item or the original framing materials that are to be retained |
| | 1.2 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.3 | Frame is examined to identify its composition, condition and type of construction, production techniques, fixing and fasteners used and de-framing and restoration procedures |
| | 1.4 | Tools and equipment are selected to match construction and fastener type and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety |
| | 1.5 | Safe and suitable work area is selected/prepared to de-frame, sort and protect the items |
| | 1.6 | Dismantling sequence and handling techniques are determined |
2 | De-frame artwork | 2.1 | Original frame assembly is dismantled to the extent required in the work instructions using appropriate tools and procedures |
| | 2.2 | Labels, fasteners and attachments are removed and stored |
| | 2.3 | Components are separated, protected, tagged and stored following workplace procedures |
| | 2.4 | Condition of de-framed object is examined and noted for the work order |
| | 2.5 | Relevant historical information is collated and filed |
3 | Clean work area and complete operations | 3.1 | Equipment is cleaned, inspected for serviceable condition and stored appropriately |
| | 3.2 | Equipment faults are identified, tagged and reported to appropriate personnel |
| | 3.3 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate |
| | 3.4 | 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
De-frame and document five (5) items of two and/or three-dimensional framed artwork of various media and ages
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
Work flow in relation to dismantling frames
Artwork conservation techniques
Identification of materials, equipment, processes and procedures appropriate for de-framing artwork
Frame construction techniques and processes for constructing frame packages
Types, uses and operation of tools used to de-frame artwork
Workplace safety system requirements related to de-framing artwork
Effects of the de-framing process on the artwork
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 artwork for dismantling and work/client instructions.
