Required Skills
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit
nature of the changes in materials arising from the chemical process in forming the joint
effective and efficient use of materials equipment and consumables production workflow
focus of operation of work systems and equipment
identification and correct use of equipment processes and procedures
planning own work including predicting consequences and identifying improvements
Consistent performance should be judged by their ability to
establish effective working relationships with colleagues
modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
make joints conforming to quality specifications minimise waste
handle materials suitable for recycling appropriately
systematically complete work in accordance with safe operating
Language literacy and numeracy requirements
Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms
Evidence Required
A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
select appropriate materials and joining process
plan and conduct joining process within workplace quality parameters
locate interpret and apply relevant information
identify and safely handle products and materials
apply safety precautions appropriate to the task
Consistent performance should be demonstrated For example look to see that
cable production standards are met consistently
upstream and downstream communication is timely
effective operating procedures and work instructions are read and interpreted correctly
problems are identified and appropriate action is taken ie the problem is fixed or reported
all safety procedures are followed
It is preferred that assessment takes place on an industrial extruder in a worklike environment
Competence in this unit may be assessed
on a processing plant allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions
in a situation allowing for the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems
by using a suitable simulation andor a range of case studiesscenarios
through a combination of these techniques
