Foundation Skills

This section describes those required skills (reading, writing, oral communication and numeracy) that are essential to workplace performance in this unit of competency.

Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

Range of Conditions

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

PPE includes one (1) or more of the following: 
  • safety glasses
  • face and head protection
  • hard hats
  • protective footwear
  • protective clothing
  • respiratory protection
  • ear protection
  • gloves

Resources include one (1) or more of the following: 
  • briefing or discussions with appropriate personnel
  • customer brief
  • manufacture catalogues
  • internet sites

Kitchen appliances and components include four (4) or more of the following: 
  • sinks
  • oven/cooktops
