Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Apply workplace health and safety during the assembly operation
   • Obtain and review workplace health and safety requirements and emergency procedures for assembly operation and, where required, check with appropriate personnel
   • Use personal protective equipment and identify and report hazards, accidents, incidents or near misses throughout assembly operation according to workplace requirements and health and safety legislation to maintain safe work practices
2. Store and handle building materials for major sub-assemblies
   • Use the storage system provided for tools, equipment and building materials to enhance accessibility, protect material, and replenishment of commonly used resources
   • Ensure that large sub-assemblies and materials are positioned according to workplace procedures for ease of access and safety, enabling optimal use of floor space and production efficiency
3. Check the quality of building materials before assembly work begins
   • Obtain and review task-specific information including design and production documents to ensure that product quality and production schedules and targets are met and that materials used conform to building products
   • Access building materials from storage, check the suitability for the task, quantity, relevant product certification and quality and assemble as required to meet design specifications, standards, codes, certification and production schedule
   • Ensure partition walls, floor elements and other regulated components are certified for thermal, acoustic and fire properties according to the design, local codes and standards
   • Report any incorrect information and unsuitable and non-conforming building materials to appropriate personnel for repairing the defect, resolving its cause and preventing recurrence
   • Access sub-assemblies from storage and check incoming variations in work processes or in design and equipment specifications
   • Address or report incoming variations to the appropriate personnel
   • Follow workplace procedures to ensure that the work is of the required standard and completed on time
4. Check the quality of completed sub-assembly product and process
   • Complete and check the quality of the assembly work to ensure it meets design specifications
   • Identify and rectify safety risks associated with manual handling of completed sub-assembly or prefabricated timber building system before its release to the next workstation or its delivery for on-site installation
   • Document and report time, product variations and work processes to identify non-value-added activities, delays and inefficiencies and initiate process improvement
5. Assess waste materials for reuse or disposal
   • Sort and store waste materials from assembly work according to health and safety procedures
