Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify work requirements
   • Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to machine material are verified and complied with
   • Work order is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with appropriate personnel
   • Design is interpreted to determine work specifications
   • Instructions for sequencing of work, particular measurements or adjustments are interpreted
   • Work sequence is planned, including quality checkpoints
2. Prepare for work
   • Suitable work area is selected for the tasks
   • Materials are selected to match customer requirements, suitability for purpose and the work instructions
   • Potential hazards are identified from observation of the tools, equipment, materials and workplace reference material
   • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
3. Complete construction
   • Patterns (where not already held of the design) are constructed following work instructions
   • Patterns are adjusted where specific variation to the work design is required
   • Work is checked against patterns and work sheets at the identified checkpoints
   • Any non-conformity with the required quality standards is rectified
4. Finalise work
   • Completed work is checked against required quality standard
   • Documentation or reporting is completed following workplace procedures
   • Work area is cleaned, tools and equipment are returned to storage
   • Unused materials are returned to storage and waste and scrap is dealt with following workplace procedures

Range Statement

Performance Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

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

Apply a pattern/design to at least two (2) security screen/grille products

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
