Unit of Competency LMTHL3001A - Determine suitability of hide, skin and leather for leather goods
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to determine the suitability of hides, skins and leathers for the production of leather goods.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to determining the suitability of hides, skins and leathers for specific uses. It includes the impact of slaughter and dressing techniques, preservation methods and industry classification systems.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving in determining leather suitability for production purposes. It also requires the ability to check the quality and complete production records. Self management and planning and organising skills are used to ensure work complies with workplace requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
