Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan for work
   • Work requirements in the form of type of insect or security screen to be fabricated and installed are determined from work instructions, including the identification of its pattern or plan
   • Work health and safety (WHS) requirements for fabrication and installation of insect or security screens, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work
   • The suitable process for fabricating and installing insect or security screens is identified
   • Quantities of materials required are calculated from plans and/or work instructions and/or by measuring the screen opening in accordance with Australian Standards and industry practice
   • Cutting lists are prepared from plans, work instructions or measurements of opening to suit the type of screen to be installed
   • Fittings, fixings and joining devices or materials are selected in accordance with specifications or type of materials to be joined or fixed
   • Tools and equipment appropriate to the work method are identified and assembled for use
2. Prepare for work
   • Work sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job and workplace procedures
   • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
   • Components of the insect or security screen are checked against specifications or job order for size, quantity, finish and profile
3. Fabricate and install insect or security screen
   • Materials are measured and marked to cutting list requirements and most economical use of materials
   • Materials are cut and stamped to cutting list requirements in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice
   • Components of insect or security screen are assembled in accordance with recognised industry standards
   • Fittings are installed to screen in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice
   • Insect or security screen is installed in opening in accordance with recognised industry standards
4. Complete work
   • Installed insect or security screen is inspected for quality of work and repaired, re-fabricated or reinstalled, as required, in accordance with workplace procedures
   • Material which can be reused is collected and stored
   • Waste and scrap materials are removed for disposal or recycling, as required
   • Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate
   • Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and removed and stored appropriately
   • Workplace documentation is completed in accordance with workplace requirements
