Modify millinery blocks to make new shapes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to selecting an existing millinery block and suitable materials and equipment and adding these materials to the block to make a new shape to use in blocking millinery materials for a given design.

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 an ability to interpret design specifications and problem solve block modification requirements. Planning and organising is used for safe and effective use of block making technology and operations. .

This unit covers skills and knowledge to modify existing millinery blocks to make new shapes.

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