Performance Evidence

There must be evidence the candidate has completed the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria, and foundation skills of this unit, which must include the ability to:

safely and correctly assemble each of the following types of roller shutters:

light-weight exterior domestic roller shutter

heavy-weight exterior commercial roller shutter

fire-rated or cyclone-rated roller shutter

interior roller shutter.

In the course of the above four assembly processes, the person must demonstrate the ability to assemble shutters with the following shutter control devices:

at least two electric systems involving a radio-controlled remote device or photocell sensor device

at least one manual system involving winders or straps.

One of the above shutter control devices must be a 240V control device to be connected to mains power when installed; and one a 12V rechargeable solar or battery-operated control device.

In the course of each of the above assemblies, the person must:

interpret work order, and locate required materials, tools and equipment

select and set up required product and components according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures and quality requirements

apply safe lifting and handling procedures

follow work instructions and safe operating procedures to:

minimise risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to site, tools, equipment and products

maintain required production output and quality

use hand and power tools safely

use personal protective equipment (PPE)

use and dispose of waste sustainably

avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions and wastage

identify and resolve routine problems and faults encountered

work with others, recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity.
