Unit of Competency MSFBA3016 - Install awnings
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to install awnings according to job requirements. The unit involves planning job requirements, identifying required products to be used and their measurements and fasteners, and applying workplace procedures to ensure safe and correct installation.The unit applies to those installing awnings in residential and commercial environments. The style of awning to be installed may be aluminium roll-up, folding-arm, metal-hooded canopy, textile canopy or metal louvre. The material used in the awnings may be light-weight domestic, heavy-weight commercial, fire-rated or cyclone-rated. The awnings may be installed in a range of openings, including windows; fixed and sliding doors; and building entrances. They may be installed on a range of surfaces, including aluminium, concrete, masonry, plasterboard, steel and timber.Where installed control devices involve wiring to be connected to mains power, electrical work must be completed by a qualified licensed electrician.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must occur in the workplace, or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions and contingencies.

Access is required to tools, materials, equipment and specifications for the installation described in the performance evidence above, including:

awnings requiring installation as specified in the performance evidence

PPE applicable to job requirements

WHS documentation specific to the installation

fixing hardware, tools and equipment specified in the knowledge evidence

control devices for awnings being installed

workplace documentation required for each installation, including:

work orders, customer orders, job cards and work quotations

workplace procedures specified in the knowledge evidence

supplier instructions and manufacturer specifications

customer care cards

customer invoices and receipts

time sheets.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the assessor requirements in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
