Performance Evidence

  • Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
  • Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
  • Identify materials used in the work process
  • Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
  • minimise the risk of injury to self or others

  • Conduct operator maintenance on hand and power tools, including the grinding of:
  • shaves
  • specialised hand tools
  • drill bits
  • Store tools correctly
  • Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
  • Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
  • Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
  • Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

Knowledge Evidence

  • State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for coopering operation
  • Basic barrel construction terminology and techniques
  • Basic barrel repair terminology and techniques
  • Coopering tools, their characteristics, uses, limitations and operator maintenance requirements
  • Coopering hand tool application techniques
  • Coopering power tool set-up and application techniques
  • Coopering components standard shapes and forms
  • Environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material
  • Established communication channels and protocols
  • Relevant problem identification and resolution
  • Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
