Elements and Performance Criteria

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

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

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.
