Unit of Competency LMTTX3005B - Organise and interpret tests
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to organise and interpret tests within the textile industry.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to organising a range of testing and sampling procedures and equipment, including evenness testing, moisture content, dry fastness, fibre construction, colour matching or other similar processes. Discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.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 skills associated with problem solving and planning and organising in order to set up and conduct tests and interpret results. Initiative and enterprise are applied in the interpretation of test results and communication skills are used to interpret information and complete required documentation.

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Test equipment may include

general laboratory equipment such as:

weighing scales

lighting equipment used for colour testing

other similar devises or equipment

OHS practices

OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

environmental practices

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.
