determining the appropriate means of preparing surfaces by abrasive blasting

selecting, setting up, using and maintaining surface blasting equipment safely and effectively, reporting any faults

demonstrating emergency shutdown procedures

selecting and using the correct media for the blasting operation and preparing surfaces

disposing of abrasive media in accordance with regulatory and legislative requirements

inspecting to ensure the prepared surface meets specifications and rectifying any non-conformance, as necessary.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in preparing surfaces by abrasive blasting (advanced) at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
