Description
This unit covers the competency to recognise finishes and effect repairs to damaged framing materials.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for work
- 1.1. The composition and finish of damaged framing materials is identified and viability/feasibility of effecting repair determined
- 1.2. Repairs to be effected are identified from work/job instructions or as a result of inspection of framing materials
- 1.3. Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
- 1.4. Repair requirements and procedures are identified from drawings/specifications and workplace procedures
- 1.5. Work sequence is planned to suit the job
- 1.6. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety
2. Repair framing materials
- 2.1. Fillers and abrasive agents are used to remove/fill holes and other blemishes in materials
- 2.2. Other defects are repaired in accordance with workplace procedures
- 2.3. Colours are matched to suit existing finish of materials
- 2.4. Finishes are applied to materials in accordance with workplace procedures
- 2.5. Problems occurring during repairs are identified and reported to appropriate persons
- 2.6. Repaired material is inspected to ensure best possible match to existing finish and either stored, returned for further repair or scrapped in accordance with workplace procedures
3. Complete work
- 3.1. Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate
- 3.2. Workplace documentation is completed as required
- 3.3. Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Identify finishes
Identify repairs required
Identify materials, ensuring quality and aesthetics, to be used in the repair process
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment, safety and environmental protection equipment
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
As a minimum, identify the finish and effect the repair of five different damaged items of picture framing materials
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Framing materials requiring repair, tools and equipment for repair, consumables for filling and finishing, work practices and an appropriate work area.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant frame moulding cutting machines/devices, framing materials, work instructions and deadlines.
