Description
This unit covers the competency to use specialised equipment and processes to bond or glue textiles and timber for the manufacture of items, including bonded blinds and padded pelmets.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify the materials and process
- 1.1. The process and materials to be used are identified
- 1.2. The effect of the joining process on the materials is determined
- 1.3. The effect of the chemical reactions on the materials is determined
- 1.4. Allowances for joining overlaps are checked in workplace documentation and manufacturer instructions
- 1.5. Curing times are identified for the materials and the process
2. Plan the joining process
- 2.1. Manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures for the joining task are used in the planning process
- 2.2. OHS requirements, including ergonomic criteria and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
- 2.3. Work sequence is planned noting appropriate curing/cooling times, efficient work sequence and quality requirements
3. Set up equipment and materials for the process
- 3.1. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
- 3.2. Site is checked for appropriate ventilation, fume extraction, protection of other surfaces from contamination with screens and or covers
- 3.3. Adjustments and settings are made to suit materials, manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures
- 3.4. Appropriate personal protection equipment is selected and assembled
4. Follow workplace procedures to complete the joining process
- 4.1. Joining procedures are completed following the planned work sequence
- 4.2. Checks and tests of the process and the finished product are made
- 4.3. Appropriate adjustments are made to the process to maintain the quality of the finished product
- 4.4. Workplace documentation and records are completed as required
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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Chemical joining
This unit covers work involved in the use of solvent and water-based chemicals to join or repair textiles and timber
Unit context
OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent
Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements
Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the use of chemicals. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment.
Tools and equipment
Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to glue guns
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices
Information and procedures
Chemical manufacturer specifications and operational procedures
Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of chemicals and machinery
Work instructions
Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Locate, interpret and apply information relevant to the chemicals, textiles and timber involved
Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials
Select appropriate materials and joining process to match work requirements
Maintain work area to meet environmental and safety regulations
Conduct joining process within workplace quality parameters to chemically join at least three different types of textiles
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment
Resource implications
Textiles, timber and joining materials, job sheets.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
