Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

carry out manual metal arc welding (MMAW), including:

three bead runs, 150 mm long

three pad welds, 150 mm long

three butt welds, 150 mm long

three lap welds, 150 mm long.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS), and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to carrying out manual metal arc welding on components, including procedures for:

selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with MMAW equipment, including approved welding helmet

using specialist welding tools and equipment

using protective screens and fume extraction system

manually handling components and MMAW equipment

identifying and controlling hazards

environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials

hazards associated with MMAW, including:

arc eye and exposure to ultraviolet light

metal vapours, welding electrodes and welded components

molten metal spatter and fire danger

distortion control techniques, including:

bracing

pre-setting

tacking

bolting

clamping

jigs and fixtures

material preparation techniques, including characteristics of different metal types

procedures for setting up and operating MMAW equipment

methods and techniques for MMAW, including:

weld specifications

basic welding symbols

types of welding electrodes and their application

protection of vehicle electronics

weld inspection

identification and rectification of weld defects

procedures for final inspection and testing of welded components.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the MMAW that they have carried out, e.g. work orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

PPE required for MMAW

components to be welded as specified in the performance evidence

welding materials and consumables

MMAW equipment and operating instructions

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for carrying out MMAW.
