Evaluation of hazards before, during and after activities to ensure the protection of the environment and associated personnel
Equipment checks - carry out pre-checks on all equipment including compressors, air supplies, blast pots, hose connections, whiplash restraints, nozzles, air-breathing filters, dead man's handles, spray guns, spray pumps and validation of all associated equipment
Materials/consumables - carry out checks on abrasives for signs of contamination, expiry dates of paints and compliance with the relevant documentation
Personal protective equipment - perform pre-checks and maintenance reports on all PPE (blasting helmets, blasting overalls, dust and chemical respirators, eye/ear protection, safety boots, microporous coveralls) and ensuring appropriate use for the intended application
Set-up of equipment - ensuring appropriate set up of all related blasting and painting equipment. Candidates will gain the working knowledge of safe setting-up and securely dismantling all associated equipment
Techniques:

Preparing surfaces to the required standards with adherence to the relevant specifications
Painting and coating surfaces with brushes or spray application in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations and relevant specifications
Considering potential impacts on the environment and other personnel when handling, using and disposing of materials associated with blasting and painting operations

Surface preparation – candidates will be capable of assessing surface conditions, select the preparation technique appropriate to the degree of corrosion and surface cleanliness
Candidates will be proficient in understanding and demonstrating the ability of masking and appropriate stripe coats before paint application
Coating sequence – candidates will be able to demonstrate and adhere to the coating stages (primer, mid and finish-coats), and mix constituents as per the product technical data sheets
Candidates will advance to appreciate the fine art and techniques involved in the related field
Coating quality – carrying out inspection and assessments of coating films to identify faults and reporting them for consideration of remedial action
