Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to fabricate trim components
   • 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
   • Fabrication tools and equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work is planned to identify methods for fabricating trim components, minimise waste, and use time effectively
2. Perform fabrication
   • Components are fabricated to specification according to workplace instructions, customer and job requirements, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Fabricated component is inspected against workplace quality requirements and fabrication defects are reported to appropriate personnel according to workplace procedures
3. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure fabrication 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
