This unit covers the competency to apply polish and/or spirit varnish to surfaces using soft rubber techniques.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Nil
This unit contains employability skills.
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical Aspects of Evidence | Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self and others prevent damage to goods, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality Accurately apply soft/varnish rubber techniques on a minimum of two occasions which must cover a chair or equivalent, and a large flat surface Maintain application equipment Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment |
Resource Implications | Soft rubber materials, coating materials, other consumables and surfaces to be coated. |
Method of Assessment | Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment may be in conjunction with other relevant units of competency. |
Context of Assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
|
Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to soft rubber coating materials, cleaning materials, work orders and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of coating equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate paint requirements and other material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate soft rubber coating problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage use the limited workplace technology related to soft rubber coating, including tools, equipment and measuring devices |
Required knowledge |
soft rubber applications, limitations and techniques characteristics of coatings in terms of toxicity, reactivity, flammability, required viscosity the methods to prevent contamination of surfaces during and after finishing workflow in relation to the application of finishing material |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Unit context | OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the application of soft rubber techniques |
Soft rubbers | Soft rubbers consist of cotton-wool or wadding body wrapped in cotton cloth and are used for either polish or varnish |
Surfaces my include but are not limited to: | solid timber and manufactured board |
Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to: | brushes swooges soft rubbers and sanding blocks |
Materials may include but are not limited to: | polish methylated spirits spirit varnish scourer abrasive papers cotton rags steel wool |
Personal protective equipment | Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices |
Information and procedures | Workplace procedures relating to the use of tools and equipment Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication Manufacturer specifications and operational procedures |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
