List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. Prepare for repair | 1.1 Review work order and where required check with appropriate personnel. 1.2 Select appropriate personal protective equipment and check for operational effectiveness. 1.3 Obtain type and quantity of material to be repaired from the veneer production process. 1.4 Select patch strips in line with work order. |
2. Patch veneer | 2.1 Use equipment in line with organisational safety procedures, manufacturer’s instructions and environmental protection practices. 2.2 Complete pre start-up equipment checks to ensure operational effectiveness. 2.3 Set equipment controls and coordinate veneer flow with other operators to ensure minimal downtime. 2.4 Inspect veneer defects, cut patch strips minimising wastage and feed into machine. 2.5 Position veneer sheets to accept patch, and process. 2.6 Position out-feed bins or trays to collect repaired veneer and clear regularly. 2.7 Patch manually where mechanical process is not possible. |
3. Redistribute material | 3.1 Grade patched veneer in line with organisational procedures and industry standards. 3.2 Direct material to storage or processing operations in line with organisational procedures. 3.3 Dispose of irreparable material and excess patch strips in line with environmental protection practices. 3.4 Clean work area and store unused patch strips in line with organisational safety procedures. 3.5 Record and report production outcomes and equipment faults to appropriate personnel. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. If a specific volume or frequency is not stated below, then evidence must be provided that the following requirements have been performed on at least one occasion:
repair veneer mechanically in line with an individual work orders that prescribe repair requirements and quantities for each job
complete repairs for the following types of defects:
splits
splintered and missing edges
for each of the above jobs, visually inspect veneer and re-classify its quality and use after repair.
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
environmental protection practices for repairing veneer mechanically:
reducing water and energy use
cleaning plant, tools and equipment
disposing of, recycling and reusing timber and excess patch strips
typical flow of material supply in and out of the repair area
features of typical defects in single thickness veneer:
splits
splintered and missing edges
typical work flow processes and repair techniques used to patch veneer to an acceptable level for continued use
purpose, features and operation of veneer patching machinery
key features of and applicable terminology for industry standard grades for re-classifying quality of repaired veneer
organisational procedures specific to repairing veneer mechanically:
workplace health and safety with particular emphasis on equipment lock out and use of personal protective equipment
communication reporting lines
recording and reporting production outcomes and equipment faults.
The following resources must be made available:
veneer patching machinery with out-feed bins or trays
personal protective equipment suitable for repairing veneer mechanically
commercial single thickness veneer
consumable veneer patch strips lined with an adhesive heat reactive backing
manufacturers’ instructions for use of equipment
work order with specific instructions repairing veneer mechanically
template documents for recording production outcomes and equipment faults
relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information
organisational procedures for repairing veneer mechanically.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must:
hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and
