Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Interpret information
   • Interpret drawings, sketches or diagrams provided by customer
   • Read and apply workplace procedures and instructions
   • Read established dimensions from supplied drawings or other information
   • Consult customer to identify missing dimensions or other unknown aspects of the product
   • Scale drawings or diagrams where necessary to obtain dimensions needed for production
   • Select appropriate tools, equipment and resources
2. Obtain relevant dimensions from physical objects
   • Use manual measuring and scaling techniques
   • Measure and record physical dimensions from buildings, architectural structures, vehicles, caravans, or marine craft, as appropriate
   • Calculate or otherwise determine and record angles for future reference
   • Identify and determine geometric shapes, establish positions of clear panels and record relevant information
   • Apply work health and safety (WHS) practices during the gathering of measurements both on and off site
3. Record and communicate data
   • Record and store data using established workplace format and documentation
   • Pass on data and associated information to personnel responsible for further action within the organisation
