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

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Identify work requirements

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Identify materials used in the work process

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection processes to

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Operate and monitor the machines and complete the tasks identified in the Range Statement for

one saw

one planer

one drill

one sander

Work effectively with others

Resource Implications

Access to basic woodworking machinery as identified in the Range Statement standard operating procedures and unprocessed materials

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

The unit scope is to cover a minimum of one saw, one planer, one drill and one sander and related tasks from the following list:

Unit context

Material to be machined may include but is not limited to:

Personal protective equipment
