Unit of Competency LMTTF2009A - Identify and select canvas and sail materials
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to identify and select appropriate materials for use in the manufacture of canvas or sail products.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the identification, selection and handling of materials and checking of stock availability. Work may involve interaction with other people in the workplace including supervisors and production personnel. Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as:operational indoor workplacesoperational outdoor workplacesWork 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 to identify materials and determine appropriateness for job specifications. This unit also requires planning and organising for efficient material use. Communication skills are applied to interpreting labelling and identification information of material. Self management skills are applied to ensure workplace and quality standards are achieved.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
