Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify colourisation techniques
   • Types of Fabric colourisation techniques are identified.
   • Effects of colourisation techniques on different fabrics are described.
   • Processes used to achieve different colourisation techniques are described.
2. Describe uses of colourisation techniques in design process
   • Uses of colour to inform and inspire design are described.
   • Role of colourisation as production tool is described, including impact on process.
   • Effect of colourisation on the design are described
3. Colourise fabrics
   • Colourisation techniques are applied to a variety of fabrics.
   • Process is analysed to assess outcome.
   • Colourisation is modified as required.
4. Ensure workplace standards are met
   • OHS practices are implemented in colourising fabrics.
   • Colourisation effects and garment quality meet quality standards.
5. Document process
   • Techniques used to colourise fabrics and their effects are documented for future reference.
   • Documentation is filed and stored.

Required Skills

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Demonstrates knowledge of uses and performance characteristics of fabrics information resources on fibres and fabrics OHS practices including hazard identification and control measures quality practices workplace practices recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to analyse performance characteristics use tools and equipment associated with colouring fabrics read interpret and follow information on work specifications standard operating procedures and work instructions and other reference material maintain accurate records communicate within the workplace sequence operations meet specifications clarify and check taskrelated information carry out work according to OHS practices

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Elements and Performance Criteria Range Statement Key Competencies and Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package
Critical aspects of evidence	Demonstrates skills and knowledge to identify fibres and fabrics determine effects of colourising fabrics use colourisation techniques to achieve design effects apply OHS practices in work operations
Consistency in performance	Consistently applies skills and knowledge when organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace including modes of behaviour and interactions completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment
Resource implications	Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations including work areas materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices
Context for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment
Interdependent assessment	This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units

Range Statement

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.
Fabric colourisation techniques may include:		dyeing - shibori, resist (batik) printing - block, silk screen, transfer, roller, stencilling
Fabrics may include:		knitted fabrics, including weft knits and warp knits woven fabrics, including plain, twill, satin, dobby and jacquard non-woven fabrics such as felts, nets, braids and bonded
Uses of colour may include:		dyeing fabrics to match others over-printing fabrics to create a new print design mixing colours to create something different removing colour to create print design emphasise texture and patterns
OHS practices		OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include: 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 other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
