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 assembly | 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 assembled from veneer production process. 1.4 Select production process in line with work order. |
2. Bond veneers | 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 Adjust spreader stations to provide material delivery in line with required board cross-section distribution. 2.4 Apply glue to cross-grain veneer evenly and adjust glue feed, spread and tack levels regularly to achieve desired result. 2.5 Select and assemble cross-grain and long-grain veneer in required sequence. 2.6 Position veneer and feed according to required sequence, minimising gaps and mismatched edges. 2.7 Transfer completed assemblies for pressing. |
3. Redistribute material | 3.1 Grade assembled ply 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 sub-standard material and excess glue in line with environmental protection practices. 3.4 Clean work area and store unused glue 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:
complete production jobs to bond sheets of veneer in line with individual work orders for each job that prescribe:
varying thickness of sheets of veneer to be used
varying numbers of layers of veneer to be bonded
varying quantities of assembled ply to be produced
for each of the above jobs, visually inspect assembled ply and grade according to industry and organisational standards.
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
environmental protection practices for forest products factory settings:
reducing water and energy use
cleaning plant, tools and equipment
disposing of, recycling and reusing timber
disposing of hazardous substances
typical flow of material supply in and out of the veneer production area
typical work flow processes and techniques used to bond sheets of veneer
purpose, features and operation of ply assembly tables and glue spreading stations
appropriate parameters for rate of glue feed, spread and tack levels and effects of weather conditions on glue properties
methods used to safely store glue
key features of and applicable terminology for industry standard grades for assembled ply
organisational procedures specific to preparing veneer for ply:
workplace health and safety with particular emphasis on equipment lock out, use of personal protective equipment and handling hazardous substances
communication reporting lines
recording and reporting production outcomes, equipment faults and maintenance requirements.
The following resources must be made available:
ply assembly tables with glue spreading stations
personal protective equipment suitable for preparing veneer for ply
a diverse range of commercial single thickness veneer of varying thicknesses
glue mix
manufacturers’:
instructions for equipment use
safety data sheets for glue
work order with specific instructions for preparing veneer for ply
template documents for recording production outcomes and equipment faults
relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information
organisational procedures for preparing veneer for ply.
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
be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
