Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare to repair vehicle composite material component
- Workplace instructions are used to determine job requirements
- Fibreglass and composite material repair information is accessed and interpreted from workplace procedures and manufacturer specifications
- Composite materials are identified, selected and inspected for quality
- Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
- Work area with approved ventilation is checked for correct operation and faults are reported to authorised personnel
- Composite tools and equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are identified and checked for serviceability
- Work area is prepared and work is planned to identify methods for repairing a vehicle using composite materials and to minimise waste
- Carry out repair activities
- Items to be repaired are located and damage or faults are assessed to determine repair methods
- Tools and equipment are set up and materials are mixed and prepared for use
