Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for site visit
   • Verify and comply with applicable occupational health and safety (OHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to conducting site visits
   • Confirm project brief and visit objectives, and review any available drawings and information on the project
   • Arrange site visit and prepare required materials
   • Check all measuring equipment and materials for sketching are available

Required Skills

Required skills

Required skills include sourcing and interpreting workrelated information communicating verbally and in writing with team members and siteproject managers interpreting diagrams and drawings taking accurate measurements using mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area perimeter volume mass scales and ratios using prechecking techniques to anticipate measurement and drawing problems and avoid reworking using workplace technology related to measurement and drawing including tools equipment calculators and measuring devices accurately calculating angles selecting principal axes and angles establishing positions of clear panels reading interpreting and following information on work specifications standard operating procedures work instructions and other reference material maintaining accurate records carrying out work according to OHS practices completing industry standard freehand drawings and sketches

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes relevant legislation OHS requirements for the engineering industry quality assurance procedures the theory and practice of calculations addition subtraction multiplication and division conventional signs and markings for plans and drawings the principles of plane geometry measurement techniques and equipmenttools

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	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to conduct an onsite visit and complete industry standard drawings sketches and other documentation that includes measurements and all relevant site information to inform drafting work
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts Specifically the candidate must be able to work within typical siteteamwork structures and methods apply worksite communication procedures comply with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements participate in work meetings comply with quality requirements use industry terminology apply appropriate safety procedures take accurate site measurements and produce detailed sketch to inform detail drafting work
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity age gender demographics and disability Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other relevant units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials
