criteria for recycling and re-using material with defects

hazards and risks associated with finishing and coating fabricated products, including environmental hazards and risks

problem identification and resolution strategies, common fault finding techniques, and typical product and coat defects

procedures for the operation and maintenance of tools and equipment

procedures for recording and reporting equipment and product faults, and process information.

The following resources must be made available:

work order
