INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Set Out, Cut & Flash Roof & Wall Penetrations course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in interpreting penetration flashing requirements, setting out and cutting roof and wall penetrations, fitting penetration products, installing purpose-made and proprietary flashings, applying fire resistant requirements and managing material compatibility, clean-up, maintenance and storage requirements.

Setting out, cutting and flashing roof and wall penetrations involves reading job plans, specifications, codes, Australian Standards, manufacturer specifications and jurisdictional requirements, then preparing materials, tools, equipment and PPE for safe and accurate flashing work. In real workplace practice, this skill area is important because roof and wall penetrations must be located, cut, supported, fitted and flashed correctly to suit services, penetration size and shape, product requirements, weatherproofing performance and compliance requirements.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to interpret flashing requirements; apply workplace, WHS and environmental procedures; prepare materials lists; select tools, equipment and PPE; locate existing and future services; set out and cut penetrations to tolerances; install supports and fit penetrating products; fix purpose-made and proprietary flashings; flash square, rectangular and circular penetrations to specified size requirements; apply fire resistant requirements; and manage material compatibility, electrolysis, capillary action, thermal expansion, corrosion prevention, clean-up, recycling, tool maintenance and secure storage.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can set out, cut and flash roof and wall penetrations by interpreting job requirements, applying safety and workplace procedures, preparing materials and equipment, accurately locating and cutting penetrations, fitting supports and penetration products, installing compliant flashings, managing fire resistant and material compatibility requirements and completing clean-up, recycling, maintenance and storage activities.

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS ASSESSMENT:

This course assessment is based on the following topics:

1.    Accessing, reading and interpreting roof and wall penetration flashing requirements from job plans, specifications, codes, Australian Standards, manufacturer specifications and jurisdictional requirements.
