2021-04-01_TS_BR_V2

Learning objective:

The participants can act independently in applying the knowledge gained during the general safety module to the working environment to minimise the risks associated with composite repair work (Ability, intermediate level)

Training staff shall:

Continually assess and give feedback on the participants’ ability to apply the knowledge gained during the general safety module to the working environment to mitigate the risks associated with composite repair work

The participants shall:

Practice the ability to apply the knowledge gained during the general safety and chemical safety modules to their working environment by correctly selecting and using PPE appropriate to the task in hand and to work in a safe manner with the materials and tools required for each process

SAFE REMOVAL OF DAMAGED MATERIAL

Learning objectives:

The participants can safely perform the removal of damaged material and properly clean a composite laminate prior to repair activities (Skills, intermediate level) The participants can explain methods that can be used to protect the cleaned surface if the lamination cannot be performed immediately (Knowledge, intermediate level) The participants can act independently in assessing and safely removing damaged laminate with a grinder without damaging the underlying core material (Ability, intermediate level) The participants can act independently for documenting each stage of the repair (Ability, intermediate level)

Training staff shall:

Create a small area of damage in the trailing edge section produced in lesson 18, with the damage limited to the laminate structure

Demonstrate how to correctly document the initial damage with photographs

Demonstrate how to use a grinder to remove all the damaged laminate material without damaging the underlying core material, and how to evaluate the extent of the damage Demonstrate how to clean the surface in preparation for lamination using a vacuum cleaner, tacky rags and isopropyl alcohol

Demonstrate how to protect the cleaned surface if the lamination cannot be performed immediately

Facilitate practice to improve the participants’ ability to safely remove damaged laminate with a grinder without damaging the underlying core material. Assess the extent of the damage and how to properly clean the surface in preparation for lamination, and how to document each stage of the repair
