  • Allocate connection fittings for structural connections to either columns or beams to suit fabrication efficiency or design requirements
       
Element: Identify required connections
  • Identify members requiring connections from design information and identify any potential or specified non-standard connections
  • Check design information for specification of standard and non-standard connections
  • Check adequacy of design information for non-standard connections and make request for further information if necessary

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
