The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |

Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Equipment is to include: | cold and hot presses with temperature control, steam pressure control, load and cycle times |
Pressing | is the process of using a cold or heat driven press to use weight or steam generated pressure to compress the multiple layers of pre-bonded plies together between pressing plates |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice body language |
Pre start-up checks | are conducted to ensure: equipment has been set-up correctly systems are performing accurately machinery is operating to optimum performance |
