Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to fabricate wooden component
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Materials are selected and inspected for quality
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Wood working tools and equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work area is prepared and work is planned to identify fabrication techniques, minimise waste, and use time efficiently
2. Fabricate wooden component
   • Drawings and specifications are interpreted and measurements taken to prepare templates to fabricate component
   • Wooden component is fabricated using appropriate techniques and adhesives according to workplace instructions and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to equipment or machinery
3. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and component is presented ready for use
   • 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
