Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for installation |
1.1. Applicable legislative , OHS and organisational requirements relevant to installing resilient wall coverings are verified and complied with 1.2. Instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify process required to complete work tasks 1.3. Sub-strate condition is assessed for suitability for installation of resilient coverings to the walls 1.4. Suitable adhesives , trims and accessories are selected 1.5. Tools , equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition 1.6. Sequence of work is planned, including the starting point, to ensure efficiency and quality of installation |
2. Set-out floor coverings |
2.1. Resilient wall covering to be installed is checked against order 2.2. Resilient wall coverings are acclimatised according to manufacturer recommendations 2.3. Resilient wall coverings for fixing are organised and used in accordance with relevant safety management requirements 2.4. Working lines and starting point are established 2.5. Pre-form fillet is cut and fitted (if required) 2.6. Feathering systems and applications are prepared and applied in accordance with the installation plan |
3. Install resilient sheet |
3.1. Resilient wall coverings are laid out to meet directional sequence, pattern match, specification requirements and to minimise waste and joins as appropriate 3.2. The aesthetics of the materials is maximised where appropriate, matching grains, colours and patterns 3.3. Materials are cut to length and size, allowing for final adjustment, trimming and welding processes 3.4. Header and/or perimeter contact adhesive is applied to surfaces 3.5. Adhesive is applied to the body of the walls as specified by the adhesive manufacturer 3.6. Resilient wall covering is positioned in accordance with the plan, pressed out and hand-rolled 3.7. Resilient wall covering is heated to form required profiles 3.8. Seams are prepared and welded in accordance with the plan, manufacturer instructions and industry standards 3.9. Joins and/or seams are trimmed and finished to industry standards 3.10. Resilient wall coverings are sealed to floor coverings, door and window frames, as well as fixtures and fittings in wet area installations 3.11. Completed installation is checked for flaws in installation and materials and faults rectified following workplace procedures |
4. Complete housekeeping |
4.1. Unused materials are stored or recycled as required 4.2. Tools and equipment are cleaned and stored appropriately 4.3. Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of appropriately 4.4. Workplace documentation and/or reports are completed |

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
|
Context of , and specific resources for assessment |
|
Method of assessment |
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency |
