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 this unit standard is to enable learners to erect and brace timber roof structures, in line with safety legislation, and National Building Regulations and requirements, and based on specification drawings. The role of safety is crucial, and understanding the implications of design modifications and industry convention to deal with practical challenges are important factors when attaining the outcomes of this unit standard. Learners mostly apply competence under supervision of a team leader. |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| FETC NQF Level 2 literacy and numeracy competencies |
| UNIT STANDARD RANGE |
| 1. Levelling includes using spirit levels, water levels tapes, plumb bobs, chalk lines, dumpy levels, etc.
2. Materials include trusses, rafters, brackets, cleats and connection materials such as nails, bolts, washers and nuts, barge and fascia boards, and soffit, etc. 3. Specifications include designer, ITC and SABS requirements 4. Trusses include valley trusses, and single and multiple member trusses 5. Erecting, bracing and fixing trusses include temporarily bracing trusses to prevent collapse, levelling and plumbing trusses, temporarily fixing trusses where they connect to girders, placing cantilever and stub trusses, nailing battens, nailing purlins and fixing hurricane metal clips/swing clips, splicing long lengths of runners, purlins and bracing, installing DPC wrap (for masonry pockets), installing under-valley battens/purlins to valley area and cross brace, etc. 6. The scope of this unit standard does not extend that of SABS 0400 |

| UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS |
| Accreditation Process and Moderation
Assessment of learner achievements takes place at providers accredited by CETA (RSA, 1998b) for the provision of programs that result in the outcomes specified for the National Certificate for Timber Roof Erecting. CETA is responsible for moderation of learner achievements of learners who meet the requirements of this unit standard. Those assessing the outcomes of this unit standard should be qualified assessors, registered with CETA for assessment of the qualification. |
