No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan and prepare workplace
- 1.1. Activities are carried out according to OHS and organisation requirements
- 1.2. Work instructions, including relevant inspection reports and forms and quality requirements are obtained, confirmed with appropriate personnel and applied
- 1.3. Tools and equipment selected to carry out tasks are consistent with the requirements of the job, checked for serviceability and any faults are rectified or reported prior to commencement
- 1.4. Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use
- 1.5. Working environment considerations are identified and measures to reduce noise, dust and obstacles are applied
2. Assess damages/defects
- 2.1. Vehicle bodies/parts are inspected to confirm the extent and nature of damage or metal defects
- 2.2. Damage or defects found are assessed for remedial solutions
- 2.3. Solution to repair the damage or defect is selected and planned
3. Produce specialised repair instruments
- 3.1. Drawings or sketches are produced to design necessary repair instruments
- 3.2. Equipment or tooling to make the instruments is selected
- 3.3. Instruments are produced according to drawings or sketches
- 3.4. Instruments are assessed and modified if necessary to suit the damage or defect
4. Repair damage/defect
- 4.1. Specialist instruments and general body repair tools are applied to rectify identified damage or defects
- 4.2. Damage or defective area is repaired to specifications
- 4.3. Documentation is completed outlining nature of problem, work conducted and outcome, in accordance with organisation requirements
- 4.4. Repaired vehicle/parts are processed for inspection and returned to the production sequence
5. Clean up
- 5.1. Work area is cleared and materials disposed of, reused or recycled in accordance with cost reduction initiatives
- 5.2. Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored in accordance with organisation requirements
Legislation and regulations, organisational safety policies and procedures and may include: the use of personal protective equipment and clothing, rescue services, fire fighting organisation and equipment, first aid equipment, hazard and risk control and elimination, systems covering the use of hazardous materials and substances and manual handling procedures including lifting and carrying.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
location, interpretation and application of relevant information, standards and specifications
compliance with organisation safety policies and procedures and OHS legislation/regulations/codes of practice applicable to operations
compliance with organisation policies and procedures including quality requirements
safe and effective operational use of tools and equipment
communication and working effectively and safely with others
inspection, assessment and rectification on a minimum of 5 separate and different damage incidents and at least 1 defective metal problem, to specifications and organisation inspection requirements.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
