Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to conduct production tasks on an assembly line for panelised or modular prefabricated timber building systems safely and efficiently. Critical workplace processes covered in this unit include workplace health and safety, storage and handling of building materials for major timber building sub-assemblies, quality check at the workstations before and after assembly work and control of waste material for disposal.
The unit applies to individuals who work as operators in a prefabricated timber building systems manufacturing plant. These include wood machinists, carpenters or joiners, supervisors and other trade and multi-skilled operators. Operators generally work under broad or limited direction to complete routine activities related to their own work, and take responsibility for their work.
In order to undertake this unit, individuals must have a relevant qualification or equivalent.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.
No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence
An individual demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria of this unit. There must be evidence that, on at least three occasions, the individual applied critical workplace processes in the manufacture of prefabricated timber building systems for one or more panelised or modular prefabricated timber building system types, including:
- cross-laminated timber floor and wall systems
- post and beam systems (Glulam, laminated veneer lumber)
- panelised floor cassette systems
- panelised wall systems (including cladding, insulation, windows or doors)
- panelised and pre-finished wall systems (inclining above, electrical, plumbing, mechanical or lining)
- pre-finished and fully finished timber-based modules.
In doing the above, the individual has:
- implemented workplace health and safety procedures and practices at the assembly workstation
- demonstrated safe and efficient work practice for storing and handling building materials and sub-assemblies according to workplace procedures
- reviewed design and production documents and understood assembly work requirements regarding quality, quantity and production schedules and targets
- checked the quality of building materials and sub-assemblies from previous work against design specifications and certification requirements before commencing the assembly work
- checked completed sub-assembly or prefabricated timber building system against specifications and safe manual handing before being released to the next workstation or delivered for on-site installation
- documented and reported time and product variations, defects and work processes efficiently and according to workplace procedures.
