Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for work |
1.1. Workplace information, including materials application and safety information, material safety data sheets, is used to inform work practices 1.2. Characteristics of the surface and the required surface treatment are identified from work orders or instructions 1.3. Processing and application techniques, time and safety requirements are identified and used for work planning 1.4. OHS requirements, including ventilation requirements and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work 1.5. Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation for the task |
2. Prepare for application of materials |
2.1. Surfaces are checked for contamination and correct preparation according to workplace procedures and standards 2.2. Products with surface or other faults are identified and faults repaired as appropriate 2.3. Materials required to complete the task are identified and prepared. 2.4. Trial applications of material are made to check equipment operation, materials consistency, viscosity and sample match. 2.5. Faults and or inconsistencies in colour and surface appearance are identified and workplace procedures for rectification and adjustment are followed |
3. Apply finishing materials |
3.1. Techniques for application of graining solution and other finishes are identified. 3.2. Materials are applied according to job instructions, material manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures 3.3.

Evidence Guide
EVIDENCE GUIDE |
|
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. |
|
Critical Aspects of Evidence |
|
Resource Implications |
Hand application equipment, graining solution and coating materials. |
Method of Assessment |
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency. |
Context of Assessment |
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
