Elements and Performance Criteria

RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Unit scope
This unit applies to the measurement and drawing of site layout related to the manufacture and installation of furniture, cabinets, glass, soft furnishings, upholstery, picture framing, and floor covering products
Drawing
Drawing may be manual or computer aided
Measurements
Measurements are to be in metric scale, cover all dimensions of the site and furnishings and involve the use of rulers, tape measures, squares and service detectors. They may involve laser or equivalent technology
Critical dimensions that may impact on manufacture and installation include:
the square of the structure
angles floor to walls
walls to ceiling
vertical walls
horizontal floor and ceiling
service locations and critical structural criteria
Calculations to include:
area
perimeter
volume
mass
scales and ratios (ingredients/elements and triangulation) and require the application of addition
subtraction
multiplication and division processes
Calculations are to be performed both manually and with the aid of a calculator
Unit context
Workplace health and safety requirements may include OH&S legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements
Personal protection equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices
Information and procedures
Workplace procedures relating to the measuring and drawing of site layouts
Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs
Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication
Manufacturers' specifications and operational 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 the factors relevant to the measurements and drawings
Communicate effectively to enable accurate calculations, measurements and drawings
Accurately measure and record particulars for required sector sites and materials
Draw accurate, scaled plans and elevations relevant to the site using manual or computer-aided methods
Superimpose the furniture product accurately to scale onto the plan and elevation
Identify and communicate on measurements and dimensions which may impact on manufacture and/or installation

Resource Implications
Information on the site and products for measurement and calculation, suitable work area appropriate to the activity, suitable site plans/drawings and/or specifications, and measuring, calculating and recording devices.

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.

Context of Assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
