This unit applies to the bonding of materials with adhesives on canvas and sail products. Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as:
operational indoor workplaces
operational outdoor workplaces
hazardous or exposed conditions
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision.
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 planning and organising for the safe and effective use of adhesives and textile fabrication technology. This unit also requires communication skills to read and apply workplace information and complete work records. Self management skills are applied to ensure workplace and quality standards are achieved.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to select and safely use adhesives on canvas and sail products.
