| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare and load drum or vessel | 2.1 | Determine drum or vessel loads and batches by counting, weight, volume or other defined method |
| 2.2 | Assemble and make ready hides or skins to be prepared or tanned to be loaded into drum or vessel |
| 2.3 | Use relevant manual handling procedures to load drum or vessel with hides or skins |
|
3 | Use drum or vessel to prepare or tan hides or skins | 3.1 | Assess between load service of equipment in accordance with manufacturer and workplace procedures |
| 3.2 | Assess preparation and filling of drum or vessel |
| 3.3 | Select and use formulations or additives, as required |
| 3.4 | Operate and use drum or vessel in accordance with operator instructions and SOPs |
| 3.5 | Follow schedules for the particular process |
|
4 | Monitor drum or vessel process | 4.1 | Check and monitor drum or vessel use for correct function |
| 4.2 | Monitor process parameters in terms of temperature, time and chemical values |
| 4.3 | Recognise, isolate and report any deviations from normal |
|
5 | Unload drum or vessel | 5.1 | Unload hides or skins using relevant manual handling techniques |
| 5.2 | Direct hides or skins to correct area for next process |
| 5.3 | Control handling of process liquid or effluent in accordance with environmental and workplace procedures |
|
6 | Maintain records | 6.1 | Maintain documentation, as required |
| 6.2 | Complete records, in accordance with workplace requirements |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices, industry codes and standards
applying relevant standards
determining loads and batches and load drum or vessel on at least two occasions
carrying out between load servicing, filling drum or vessel and adding formulations and additives
following schedules for the process
checking and monitoring correct function and process parameters ensuring product meets specifications
recognising and isolating deviations from normal in accordance with procedures
loading and unloading hides or skins using relevant manual handling techniques
directing hides or skins to correct area for next process
controlling handling of process liquid or effluent in accordance with environmental and workplace procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
industry and product processes and equipment
calculating drum or vessel loads and batches:
weight
volume
counting
procedures and requirements for preparation and loading
characteristics ,hazards and applications of dyes, formulations and additives used in tanning process
types and applications of formulations and additives
monitoring processes and operator instructions
quality standards and manual handling procedures
work health and safety (WHS) and environmental aspects of relevant processes, including effluent handling and disposal
relevant federal and state or territory legislative or regulatory requirements
recording and reporting procedures.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in using drum or vessel to prepare or tan hides or skins, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
