| The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |

Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisorssuppliersclientscolleaguesmanagers |
Material may include: | logsraw boardslaminated panelscovesboardmedium density fibreboardplywood |
Heat treating | is the process of curing newly formed materials or board to the desired level of moisture content, weight, thickness and density |
Storage locations may include: | the use of:storage racksstorage baysbinsstackspallet boxesmodularised storage componentstemporary stacking bays (stand, frame or ground)and may be divided into:standard product classificationproduct designationsizedimensionstack numberweightgradeshelf lifestock rotation position |
Equipment may include: | standard or controlled humidity type ovens including:temperature and humidity settingswater drainageatomising sprays fansand is to include:procedures for equipment lock-out, ie protecting operators and co-workers from accidental injury by isolating the machine from the power source |
Cycles | are the heat treating time materials spend in the oven based on condition of the materials and thickness |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal languageconstructive feedbackactive listeningquestioning to clarify and confirm understandinguse of positive, confident and cooperative languageuse of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differencescontrol of tone of voicebody language |
Pre start-up checks | are conducted to ensure:oven and rack systems have been set-up correctlysystems are performing accurately equipment is operating to optimum performance |
Oven | is the source of providing heat to the materials on the drying racks in an isolated and controlled setting with heat and humidity set accordingly |
Emergency shutdown | is the immediate shutting off of the equipment to prevent an accident or prevent damage to the machine or product |
Racks | are the systems on which the enterprise has chosen to treat the materialsare usually a tiered system for the materials to lie on while being treated ensuring stability and reasonable spacing to prevent warpingcan be motorised, wheeled or lifted into position |
Visually assessed | is the assessment of materials to determine finish quality and faults |
Moisture level | is the amount of moisture maintained in timber or timber products after drying to avoid cracking and deformingin Australia generally ranges between 10% in warmer, more humid climates to 14% in cooler climates |
Testing | is the process of measuring:moisture contentweightthickness and density to achieve the desired outcome for all of theseensures accurate heat treating allows for adjustment of the cycles accordingly |
