Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Select coatings, adhesives and additives
  • Coatings, adhesives and additives are selected according to job specifications
  • Quality and suitability of coatings, adhesives and additives are checked and appropriate action is taken
  • Coatings, adhesives and additives are selected according to suitability of substrate, physical and chemical properties and performance
       
Element: Prepare coatings, adhesives and additives
  • Coatings, adhesives and additives are prepared according to OHS requirements and manufacturer's/supplier's instructions with suitable precautions to minimise waste
  • Correct weight/volume of coatings, adhesives and additives are mixed and prepared to match the job specification and the process to be used
  • Formulation of the coatings, adhesives and additives is appropriately recorded
       
Element: Store and handle coatings, adhesives and additives
  • Coatings, adhesives and additives are appropriately stored, handled and labelled according to manufacturer's/supplier's instructions to prevent damage and hazards to personnel
  • Coatings, adhesives and additives are stored and used in a manner that ensures use before use-by dates
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare coatings and adhesives according to job specifications

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

prepare TWO different coatings or adhesives for specific end-use requirements to meet job and workplace specifications and the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

coatings, adhesives and substrates.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by labelling coatings, adhesives and additives

collecting, analysing and organising information by accessing and using MSDSs and other data sources on coatings and adhesives to ensure safe and efficient production

planning and organising activities by selecting coatings and adhesives required prior to preparation

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating weights, volumes and formulations

problem-solving skills by checking quality and suitability of coatings and taking appropriate action if problems arise

use of technology by using manual and electronic measuring equipment

Required knowledge

selecting coatings/adhesives to match process and job requirements

suitability of the coatings/adhesives determined for the particular process

characteristics of the coatings/adhesives matched to the job/substrate

adhering coatings/adhesives to the substrate

preparing coatings/adhesives

OHS concerns related to the preparation of coatings/adhesives

correct handling procedures

details that are required in order to calculate quantities of coatings/adhesives

details that are required to record the formulation of coatings/adhesives

storage, handling and labelling of coatings/adhesives

OHS concerns related to the storage and handling of coatings/adhesives

environmental conditions that are relevant to the storage of coatings/adhesives

conventions that should be adhered to when labelling coatings/adhesives

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept and information that is included in these documents

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below..

Coatings may include:

range of coatings including wax, varnish, carbon coating, carbonless slurry; pre-mixed starch adhesives, cold and hot melt glue; and appropriate additives used in the printing industry.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

Substrate types may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, corrugated board, plastics and related films, or metal.

Colour matching systems may include:

commonly used matching procedures.

Type of equipment may include:

range of manual measuring equipment.

Enterprise procedures may include:

range of enterprise procedures within defined work area.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
