Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1 - New unit of competency
Application
This unit of competency covers assessing a site, including walls, floors, appliances, services and other structural components, to determine implications and modifications required for location and installation of cabinets.
Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking kitchen and bathroom work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).

- Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
- Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
- 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
- Conduct a site assessment and identify all issues that will impact on the installation of cabinets and appliances including floor and wall construction and other structural elements of the site and availability and location of required services
- Identify limitations of cabinet construction and implications for design, including compliance issues for work and levelling required
- Complete detailed documentation to inform installation, including site conditions, sequence of component installation and quality standards that apply
- Apply quality standards, Australian Standards and resource information appropriate to cabinet construction and installation on site, including accessing and apply appropriate requirements set out in the Building Code of Australia (BCA)
- 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

- 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. Evidence is required of effectively planning cabinet installation in at least two different sites.
- Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, supervisor’s reports, completed projects or 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.
