Required Skills

Required skills include

Ability to identify drilling requirements this may require interpretation of technical drawings or sketches select fit and use personal protective clothing andor equipment collect and prepare materials according to job and equipment requirements this may involve basic marking out confirm status of equipment that safety guards are in place equipment is fit for operation and required services are available set up operate and shut down drilling equipment according to workplace procedures to meet job specification monitor and adjust process and equipment during operation to stay within specification confirm that components meet specification this may involve the use of measuring instruments maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

Required knowledge includes

Knowledge of relevant state OHS legislation standards and codes of practice relating to work responsibilities relevant site operating procedures and practices purpose and basic operating principles of drilling and accessory equipment including awareness of equipment operating capacities care maintenance and storage of drill parts and accessories scope to adjust machining parameters and related effect on outcome the impact of machining parameters and materials used on tool life safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to the operation of the drill and related equipment housekeeping standards for the work area

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of ability to identify drilling requirements select fit and use personal protective clothing andor equipment collect and prepare materials according to job and equipment requirements confirm status of equipment set up operate and shut down drilling equipment monitor and adjust process and equipment confirm that components meet specification
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to Drill and related equipment Relevant measuring instrumentation Materials to be drilled Drawings templates and specifications as required Operating procedures and related advice on equipmentinstrumentation operation Personal protective clothing and equipment Housekeeping standards and procedures
Method of assessment	Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit
Guidance information for assessment	To ensure consistency in ones performance competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances cases and responsibilities and where possible over a number of assessment activities

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Policies and procedures	Work is carried out in accordance with company policies and procedures, licensing requirements, manufacturer's recommendations, legislative requirements, codes of practice and industrial awards and agreements.
Codes of practice	Codes of practice include the Sugar Milling Operations Industry Code of Practice.
Drilling operations	Work is undertaken to pre-determined specifications. Drills are not CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. Typical drilling operations include drilling and tapping.
Machining parameters	Machining parameters are typically given and include speeds feeds stops coolant cutting lubricants.
Measuring instrumentation	Measuring instrumentation may include callipers dividers verniers micrometers.
Pre-operational checks	Pre-operational checks may include confirming that safety guards are in place equipment is operational other pre-start checks as required by workplace procedure.
Teamwork	Work may require the ability to work within a team environment.
