Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM05007C Perform manual heating and thermal cutting

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • selecting equipment appropriate to the material
  • checking condition of equipment
  • setting up:
  • gas cylinders
  • hoses
  • blowpipes
  • tips and nozzles
  • regulators
  • flashback arrestors
  • operating equipment to cut materials making appropriate cutting allowances to ensure material is used in most economical way
  • identifying defects and taking appropriate remedial action
  • heating material to specification
  • checking final product for compliance with specifications.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • cutting processes appropriate to various materials
  • heating and cutting specifications
  • purpose of, and setting up requirements, of:
  • gas cylinders
  • hoses
  • blowpipes
  • tips and nozzles
  • regulators
  • flashback arrestors
  • tools, equipment, techniques and procedures for heating and cutting
  • potential equipment faults
  • assembling procedures for equipment and accessories
  • equipment pre-checks and operation
  • procedures for adjusting heating and cutting equipment
  • cutting allowances and reasons for applying them
  • procedures and reasons for minimising waste material
  • cutting defects and their causes and tools, equipment and techniques required to correct defects.

Assessment Conditions

  • Assessors must:
  • have vocational competency in performing manual heating and thermal cutting at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience
  • satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacementand comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacementor equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires
  • Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills
  • Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications
  • Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
