Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to operate and adjust hand lamination processes to produce complex composite product. It applies to products which are ‘complex’ due to their shape (e.g. acute angle corners), technical specification (e.g. high strength/rigidity/low weight) or the conditions under which the work must be undertaken (e.g. poor access, hot/cold environment).This unit of competency applies to experienced operators who are required to set up and prepare equipment, tools and materials, monitor equipment operation, make adjustments to remedy faults and non-conformity and solve problems within area of responsibility.This unit of competency applies to an experienced operator demonstrating theoretical and technical knowledge and well developed skills in situations that require some discretion and judgement. The experienced operator may work alone or as a member of a team or group and will work in liaison with other shift team members, team leader and supervisor, as appropriate.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
