Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to fabricate and machine tooling for applications within an enterprise.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine tooling requirements
- 1.1 Tooling requirements, measurements and limitations are determined relative to design specifications provided
- 1.2 Clarification related to tooling application is sought, where required
2 Select and set up equipment for operation
- 2.1 Appropriate machines and equipment are selected for the tasks
- 2.2 Machines and equipment are prepared and adjusted as necessary for operation according to standard operating procedures
3 Form or shape tool
- 3.1 Tooling material is selected, marked or otherwise prepared for fabrication and machining
- 3.2 Allowances are made for shrinkage, thicknesses, templates, gauges and inside or outside measurements where required
- 3.3 Fabrication or machining procedures are assessed in accordance with OHS practices and workplace procedures
- 3.4 Completed tooling is checked for conformance to design specifications
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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Tooling may include:
cutting knives
punch dies
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
establish tooling requirements
operate machines or equipment appropriately
fabricate or machine tooling accurately
liaise with engineer or external supplier
communicate effectively with design team, customers, etc.
apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations
maintain accurate records
Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment
Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
