Elements and Performance Criteria
Range Statement
| This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. |
| Regulatory framework | The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following: AS/NZS 2311:2009 Guide to the painting of buildingsAS 1580 (Set) Paints and related materials – Methods of testAS/NZS 2310:2002 Glossary of paint and painting termsAS 3978-2003 Non-destructive testing – Visual inspection of metal products and componentsAS 3894 (Set) Site testing of protective coatingslegislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS)industry codes of practice and guidelinesenvironmental regulations and guidelines Australian and other standardslicence and certification requirements All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence. |
Hazards | Hazards include one or more of the following:equipment failuresflammability and explosivityhazardous products and materialsslippery surfaces, spills or leaksextreme weatherother hazards that might arise |
Procedures | All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, include one or more of the following:emergency procedureswork instructionsstandard operating procedures (SOPs)safe work method statements (SWMS)formulas/recipesbatch sheetstemporary instructionsany similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant |

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
