Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to fabricate shaped assemblies using polymer sheeting, rods or bars.
This unit applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team.
The unit principally refers to a largely manual assembly process for all kinds of rubber and plastic and usually involves the use of jigs and fixtures of special designs.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
