Apply patterns and designs to security screens and grilles

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024


This unit of competency covers producing repeatable designs to security screens and grilles through the use of patterns. It does not involve the formulation of the design but may require design adjustment to fit the particular job task.

No licensing, legislative 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)

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

Apply a pattern/design to at least two (2) security screen/grille products

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

State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for applying designs and patterns to security screen and grilles

Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for welding material

Environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material

Established communication channels and protocols

Relevant problem identification and resolution

Types of tools and equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance

Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

The process for interpreting patterns

Work flow in relation to screen design make-up

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 security screen or grille design specifications.
