Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan and prepare. |
1.1. Work instructions and operational details are obtained using relevant information , confirmed and applied for planning and preparation purposes. 1.2. Safety (OHS ) requirements are followed in accordance with safety plans and policies. 1.3. Signage and barricade requirements are identified and implemented. 1.4. Tools and equipment selected to carry out tasks are consistent with job requirements, checked for serviceability and any faults are rectified or reported prior to commencement. 1.5. Material quantity requirements are calculated in accordance with plans, specifications and quality requirements . 1.6. Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use. 1.7. Environmental requirements are identified for the project in accordance with environmental plans and statutory and regulatory authority requirements, and are applied. |
2. Transfer dimensions from an engineering drawing to work. |
2.1. Specifications and work requirements are determined in accordance with materials and drawings, and marking off of material is carried out to requirements for profile work to specifications. 2.2. Datum points are correctly established on stone for application of profile set-out. |
3. Develop patterns. |
3.1. Consideration of dressing procedures are analysed and most appropriate development method is chosen and applied for type of stone . 3.2. Calculations are carried out and accurately used to develop true shape of profile mould. 3.3. Patterns are set out accurately for profile mould, reverse mould and bed mould to dimensions and specified shapes. 3.4. Allowances for fabrication processes with guide/roller working off template are correctly determined and transferred to bed mould. |
4. Use hand or hand-held power cutting tool. |
4.1. Tool is adjusted for operation in consideration of application work. 4.2. Hand tool or power cutting tool is used safely and correctly to cut patterns for templates. 4.3. Materials are cut to size in accordance with drawing and job requirements, minimising wastage. 4.4. Templates are trimmed to set-out, where required, to specifications. |
5. Shape and form stone. |
5.1. Equipment is set up and adjusted to meet job requirements and standard operating procedures. 5.2. Stone is located and fixed into place on table ready for machine operation. 5.3. Appropriate cutter is set to machine to carry out initial cutting processes and cutters are changed as required during overall process. 5.4. Bed template is located and aligned with stone and machine operation to requirements of job and manufacturer specifications. 5.5. Machine is set up and operated with allowances for thickness of template and gauges. 5.6. Machine is operated and stone is shaped and formed to specifications, with material checked for accuracy against required dimensions and shape. |
6. Clean up. |
6.1. Area is cleaned to specification. 6.2. Waste material is removed and placed into job waste bins. 6.3. Tools and equipment are cleaned, inspected, maintained and stored. |

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. |
|
Overview of assessment |
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to fix a stone facade to a single or multi-storied structure, providing evidence of the ability to:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. Resource implications for assessment include:
Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. |
Method of assessment |
Assessment methods must:
Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:
Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed. Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff. |
