Work order is to include: | instructions for the heat treating of material and may include: colour type width length thickness quantity instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures environmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Material may include: | logs raw boards laminated panels coves board medium density fibreboard plywood |
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 racks storage bays bins stacks pallet boxes modularised storage components temporary stacking bays (stand, frame or ground) and may be divided into: standard product classification product designation size dimension stack number weight grade shelf life stock rotation position |
Equipment may include: | standard or controlled humidity type ovens including: temperature and humidity settings water drainage atomising sprays fans and 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 language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice body language |
Pre start-up checks | are conducted to ensure: oven and rack systems have been set-up correctly systems 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 materials are usually a tiered system for the materials to lie on while being treated ensuring stability and reasonable spacing to prevent warping can 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 deforming in Australia generally ranges between 10% in warmer, more humid climates to 14% in cooler climates |
Testing | is the process of measuring: moisture content weight thickness and density to achieve the desired outcome for all of these ensures accurate heat treating allows for adjustment of the cycles accordingly |
Records and reports may include: | heat treating requirements product type size inspection grading and labelling outcomes storage locations quality outcomes hazards incidents equipment malfunctions and may be: manual using a computer-based system another appropriate organisational communication system |
Regrading | is the process of visually inspecting material to re-classify quality and use after treating has taken effect |
