Learning Outcomes and Application | Application of this unitThis competency applies to operators who are required to weld plastic pipe and fabricated products to a product specification, maintaining personal safety and the safety of others within the context of production output and quality requirements. Welding may be undertaken to ISO/TR 19480 Polyethylene pipes and fittings for the supply of gaseous fuels or water - Training and assessment of fusion operators and/or Draft Australian Standard WD00307 Qualification and certification of Plastics welding personnel or its replacement.This competency is typically performed by operators working either independently or as part of a work team. The key factors are the understanding of the processes used to weld plastics materials to form a homogenous joint created by a melt of plastics materials.It includes:checking job sheets for work to be done and identifying the priority in which jobs/product will be made/completedsetting up equipmentpreparing materials as requiredensuring that safety procedures are applied to reduce the risks.If materials need to be cut as part of the job then see also PMBPROD240B Cut materials. | ||
