Unit of Competency LMTLG2001A - Cut by machine
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to carry out the preparation activities, selection of materials and cutting of materials by machine to specifications and workplace standards.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the selection of materials and machine cutting to specifications and workplace standards. Competency must be demonstrated in one or more machines to cut materials.Work 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 for safe and efficient use of cutting processes and technology. This unit also requires the ability to read and interpret ticket information, assess materials and identify and report operational problems. Self management and planning and organising 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.
