Identify performance and handling requirements of millinery materials

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to materials used in the production of millinery and the skills and knowledge required to guide the selection of millinery material, in regard to the performance and handling of traditional and non-traditional millinery materials, and their suitability to various millinery applications.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving to identify performance and handling requirements of millinery materials as well as an application of knowledge of technology used in testing materials.

This unit covers skills and knowledge required for the identification of performance and handling requirements of traditional and non-traditional millinery materials.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

identify the structure of traditional and non-traditional millinery materials

identify the composition of traditional and non-traditional millinery materials

conduct performance testing of millinery materials

identify performance characteristics of traditional and non-traditional millinery materials

test and identify handling characteristics of traditional and non-traditional millinery materials

identify quality indicators of millinery materials

identify implications for millinery construction or production

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Context and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas, materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

traditional and non-traditional millinery materials

performance characteristics of millinery materials

handling requirements of millinery materials

care and cleaning of millinery materials

OHS practices including hazard identification and control measures associated with

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skill to:

identify traditional and non-traditional millinery materials

conduct performance testing

identify handling requirements and implications for millinery production

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Traditional and non-traditional millinery materials may include

woven and non-woven materials

natural and synthetic materials

flat or moulded materials

composite materials

foundation materials

linings

covering fabrics

trims

components - wire, ribbon, feathers

Performance characteristics may include

abrasion

wearability

absorbency

durability

elasticity

heat sensitivity

colour fastness

Performance testing may include

Performance tests for this unit are those where for traditional millinery materials the test procedure has already been determined and the acceptable range of outcomes is established. Tests may include:

light

heat

steam

application of adhesives

application of size (stiffener)

strength

drape ability

resilience

Quality indicators may include

finish

composition

structure

weight

density or evenness of density

even print or dye colour

resilience

suitability or workability for application

grain

texture

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Finishes may include

colouration

brushing

sizing

decorative surface finishes for aesthetics

floating threads or fibres

Compatibility of materials and implications for millinery construction may include

identifying if the composition of the millinery materials causes limitations to usage or application

identifying if the structure of the millinery materials causes limitations to usage or application

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.
