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

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

This unit standard will enable people to correctly handle manufactured roof trusses from storage area and load onto transport vehicle together with all auxiliary material, transport to site, offload and store safely so that their efficacy is not affected, whilst adhering to other agreed standards pertaining to performance, safety, quality, and the environment.

People credited with this unit standard are able to:

Participate in the lifting of trusses from storage area handling and load onto transport vehicle

Participate in drawing Auxiliary material and all other hardware products from store and load onto transport vehicle

Demonstrate knowledge of off loading Timber Roof Trusses and Auxiliary Material and all other hardware

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

A Learner who wishes to enter a learning programme for this Unit Standard must be able to demonstrate:

i) Competency in mathematical and communication skills equivalent to that of a person who has qualified in these subjects at NQF Level 2;
ii) An understanding of the basic activities of the timber roof truss manufacturing process and procedures of the relevant workplace;
iii) Knowledge and skills in the relevant workplace procedures, health and safety measures equivalent to NQF level 2 requirements.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

a) The scope of this Unit Standard covers:

i. All the safety rules and personal protective equipment employed in the relevant production stage
ii. Procedures for delivery, handling, loading, offloading and bracing in a timber roof truss environment.
iii. All the personnel involved in the loading and offloading of timber roof trusses.

b) The context of this Unit Standard relates to the training of a Learner at NQF Level 3 In the timber roof truss manufacturing activity.

c) The Level assigned to this Unit Standard, i.e. Level 3, is appropriate because it entails the training of a novice in a timber roof truss manufacturing environment and is a progression of the skills acquired from Levels 3 to 5.
