Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to soft rubber coating materials cleaning materials work orders and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with site supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of coating equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area and estimate paint requirements and other material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate soft rubber coating problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to soft rubber coating including tools equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

soft rubber applications limitations and techniques

characteristics of coatings in terms of toxicity reactivity flammability required viscosity

the methods to prevent contamination of surfaces during and after finishing

workflow in relation to the application of finishing material

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Accurately apply softvarnish rubber techniques on a minimum of two occasions which must cover a chair or equivalent and a large flat surface

Maintain application equipment

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Soft rubber materials coating materials other consumables and surfaces to be coated

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment may be in conjunction with other relevant units of competency

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Unit context

Soft rubbers

Surfaces my include but are not limited to:

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

Materials may include but are not limited to:

Personal protective equipment
