Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM25006B Undertake marine sheathing operations
Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply sheathing to marine structures (sheathing operations).
Tasks can be carried out on prepared new and old surface areas and sealing can involve various materials to ensure a watertight seal on a variety of components.
Where application of marine coatings is undertaken unit MEM08002 Pre-treat work for subsequent surface coating and/or unit MEM08004 Finish work using wet, dry and vapour deposition methods, should also be selected as appropriate.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
