Co-ordinate and implement dry end shutdown

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to implement, assess and record dry end shutdowns in the pulp and paper industry.

This unit applies to operators and technicians who co-ordinate and implement dry end shutdown, in a pulp and paper manufacturing facility. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations. Dry end operations describe a range of systems and sub systems including drying processes, reeling operations, chemical additive system, monitoring systems, sheet treatment processes, tail feed systems, broke system, on-line coating systems, calendering systems, vacuum systems, laser systems, slitter systems, sheet transfer systems, accumulator, cleaning showers

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or in a productive environment that accurately reflects performance in a workplace.

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.
