- 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
- prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
- maintain required production output and product quality
- Use appropriate techniques and research a range of architectural styles and movements to assist with informing current design practices, effectively analysing design elements and principles in architecture
- Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area/volume and estimate material requirements
- Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, presentation of design/colour concepts, the reporting of work outcomes and problems
- Sketch and record information visually
- 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 researching architectural styles and movements
- Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for researching architectural styles
- Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
- Creativity and artistic relevance
- Ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values
- Types of research techniques
- Characteristics of materials, products and defects
- Computer programs
- Design themes and design development
- Procedures for the recording and documentation of information
- Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
Assessment Conditions
- hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
- have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
- be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
- Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
- Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
- Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
- Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
