This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The purpose of the learning for this Unit Standard is that learners are able to assemble and disassemble equipment and tool parts for maintenance, and in a way that meets health and safety, live event and technical production industry requirements. When credited, the learner`s applied competence will be to safely assemble and disassemble equipment tool parts according to manufacturers` recommendations and industry norms and standards to maintain its functionality.

Recognition or Prior Learning (RPL) must be applied should the learner provide sufficient evidence that he/she has attained the competencies outlined in this Unit Standard.

Upon successful completion of this Unit Standard the learner is capable of:

Preparing the work area for the safe assembly and disassembly of equipment and tools.

Locating the position of, and securing the equipment and tool parts.

Removing the parts from equipment or tools, and placing the parts neatly over the work area.

Identifying the sequence of the respective equipment or tool parts, and the assembly and disassembly sequence of the equipment and tool parts.

Checking functionality and safe operation of the equipment and tools after assembly.

Effecting general maintenance on equipment and tools limited to storage, cleaning, adjustment and repair.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The learning assumed to be in place prior to the learner attempting this Unit Standard is:

Numeracy and Literacy skills equivalent to NQF 3.

A working knowledge of health and safety as required by the OH&S Act as amended.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
