| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare for printing Indigenous textile designs | 2.1 | Identify and apply protocols for developing culturally-specific designs |
| 2.2 | Identify suitable fabric and printing technique |
| 2.3 | Develop single or two colour design suitable for cultural context and chosen fabric and printing technique |
| 2.4 | Prepare fabric, tools and equipment |
|
3 | Print fabric | 3.1 | Apply printing technique to fabric according to WHS practices |
| 3.2 | Use tools and equipment effectively and safely to achieve desired result |
| 3.3 | Complete work systematically with attention to detail |
|
4 | Review design and printing process | 4.1 | Assess outcome of printing |
| 4.2 | Modify design and technique, as required |
| 4.3 | Clean and store materials and equipment |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in textile printing techniques, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
