Description
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to set out, fabricate and assemble internal and external entries for shopping centres, commercial and industrial buildings. It includes off-site assembly of the structure to ensure correct fit and to allow for preparation for transport.It applies to shopfitters who fabricate street fronts, bulk heads and entries that form a total shopfront structure for all applications. Individuals at this level take responsibility for organising and completing these tasks with a high degree of self-direction.Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit of competency in some states and territories. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia modelCode of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industrymeets this requirement.
