Unit of Competency LMTHL3002A - Determine tanning requirements for hide, skin and leather
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to determine tanning requirements for various hides, skins and leathers used in the production of leather goods.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to reviewing quality of hides, skins and leathers and determining specific requirements for tanning. It includes colour and colour penetration, chemicals and chemical mixing and problem solving. Tanning activities may relate to the following processes:delimingbatingpicklingtanningWork may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. 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 the application of skills associated with planning and organising the safe and effective requirements and processes for tanning hide, skin or leather. This unit also requires an ability to interpret and document processing information, check the quality of tanning outcomes and identify tanning problems. Self management skills are used to ensure work complies with workplace requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
