Produce fibrous plasterboard
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency applies to operators who are responsible for the manufacture of fibrous plaster sheeting using a mixture of plaster material and fibre. Operators produce much of the product by hand with the full sheets cut to length after the product has set.
Generally the operator would be part of a team during the process and at all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
This unit of competency covers the production of fibrous plasterboard. It involves facilitating the mixing operation, ensuring plaster is of the correct consistency and formulation, maintaining a clean work environment, manually combining the fibre and plaster, cutting sheets to size and turning out sheets to facilitate final curing.
