Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install furniture (such as bed bases, bunks, fridge units, cupboard carcasses [for overhead, kitchen, wardrobe, rear and other cupboards], partitions, seat bases, shower units and splash backs) in recreational vehicles. The unit’s scope is the initial installation of furniture carcasses and other unfinished furniture items before other internal production processes. For furniture fabrication and assembly, seeMSMRV370Build recreational vehicle furniture. For the completion of the internal fit-out including installation of appliances and fit-out items and preparation for quality inspection, seeMSMRV323Complete recreational vehicle internal fit-outs.
The unit applies to a person working in a recreational vehicle manufacturing facility who undertakes routine tasks according to job instructions, plans/specifications and procedures and uses discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services and contingency measures. They work with a high degree of self-direction and limited supervision. They apply known solutions to routine problems and report non-routine problems according to procedures. They are responsible for their output and have limited responsibility for the output of others.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
