Application
This unit applies to activities associated with the forming and shaping of tools. Discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. This unit is applied according to workplace and OHS practices of the enterprise, which may include: requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment standard operating procedures work instructions oral, written and visual communication quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team/section output housekeeping tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication, in interpreting tool specifications and planning and organising for safe and effective use of specialised tool technology and operations. This unit also requires an ability to check the quality of outcomes and to identify and address problems relating to own work. Initiative, enterprise and problem solving will be used to combine materials and processes to achieve desired design outcomes. |
