Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to dismantle vehicle components according to workplace procedures. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning, labelling and storing recycled components, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive parts recycling industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Prepare for work | 1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions 1.2 Safety and environmental requirements and workplace procedures are sourced and interpreted 1.3 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed 1.4 Tools and equipment, including PPE, are sourced and checked for serviceability |
2. Carry out dismantling activities | 2.1 Vehicle components to be dismantled are identified 2.2 Components are dismantled according to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements 2.3 Removed components are cleaned and legibly labelled without causing damage and according to workplace procedures 2.4 Labelled components are stored according to workplace procedures |
3. Complete work processes | 3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations 3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored 3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures 3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures |
Evidence of Performance
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
dismantle, clean and tag five of the following vehicle units in line with workplace procedures:
engine and cooling system
suspension system
steering system
final drive assembly
exhaust system
body panels.
Evidence of Knowledge
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to dismantling vehicle components, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
manually handling and storing vehicle components
using tools and equipment
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of vehicle fluids, gas and other waste materials released during the dismantling process
dismantling procedures, including:
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications
procedures for removing salvageable vehicle components
workplace procedures and products for cleaning vehicle component
workplace procedures for labelling and storing vehicle components.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of task.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicle components that they have dismantled, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
vehicle manufacturer service and repair manuals
PPE required to salvage vehicle components
vehicles with salvageable components as specified in the performance evidence requiring removal
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing salvageable vehicle components.
