This is an entry-level unit standard for people working in mechanical engineering or fabrication that require a basic knowledge of modifying or producing fabricated components. It is concerned with establishing safe use of machines and good work practices, rather than fabricating to close tolerances. This unit standard does not cover principles and methods of welding.
People credited with this unit standard are able to apply good work practices under supervision when: preparing for the fabrication of simple objects; fabricating simple objects; and adjusting and maintaining fabrication machines.
