Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria 

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Prepare for work

1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.2 Set-up information  is sourced and interpreted

1.3 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

1.4 Painting equipment  and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and checked for serviceability

1.5 Work is planned to identify spray painting methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently

2. Set up spray painting equipment ready for use

2.1 Spray guns are set up, tested and maintained according to manufacturer instructions, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements 

2.2 Paint mixing system and paint agitators are set up and checked for serviceability, according to equipment manufacturer specification

2.3 Paint drying systems are set up and inspected for correct operation according to workplace procedures

2.4 Pressure regulators and air lines are checked according to workplace procedures

3. Complete work processes

3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and equipment is presented ready for use

3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored

3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures

3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

  • paint mixing system and paint agitators
  • positive air feed masks
  • gravity feed spray guns
  • spray and drying booths
  • suction feed spray guns
  • air pressure regulators
  • air compressors and air lines.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to preparing vehicle spray painting equipment for use, including procedures for:
  • selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • using tools and equipment
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
  • equipment manufacturer specifications and operating instructions relating to spray painting equipment
  • types and use of spray painting equipment, including:
  • spray gun use and associated equipment set-up and maintenance

  • filters and dryers
  • spray equipment cleaning methods and materials
  • paint mixing systems
  • paint pressure pot systems
  • spray and drying booths
  • procedures for final inspection of vehicle spray painting equipment operation.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of task.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to vehicle spray painting equipment that they have prepared, e.g. work orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

  • automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
  • workplace instructions
  • equipment manufacturer specifications and operating procedures
  • PPE to prepare spray painting materials and equipment
  • spray guns
  • paint mixing systems
  • drying equipment
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for preparing vehicle spray painting equipment.
