Required Skills

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

Demonstrates knowledge of uses and performance characteristics of fibres and 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 manipulating 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 Performance Criteria Required Skills and Knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered	Demonstrates skills and knowledge to identify textile fibres fabrics and other materials determine effects of manipulating textiles apply techniques to achieve manipulation 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.
