Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to repair riveted structural damage
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Structural repair and riveting information is accessed and interpreted from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or authorised agency’s specifications and workplace procedures
   • Materials for repair are selected and checked for quality
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work area is prepared and work is planned to minimise waste and use time efficiently
2. Carry out structural riveting procedures
   • Components are repaired or replaced according to OEM or approved agency’s riveting procedures, and equipment, safety and environmental requirements
   • Assistance is sought from authorised personnel where straightening, realigning and riveting of components disturb vehicle trim or electrical, mechanical or air conditioning systems
3. Carry out body measuring procedures
   • Repaired and riveted structural components are measured using workplace instructions and OEM or authorised agency’s approved methods and equipment
   • Measuring activities are carried out and measurements are compared with OEM or authorised agency’s specifications and workplace procedures
4. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and manufacturer specifications, and components are presented ready for painting
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
   • Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
   • Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
