Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to cut panels to a profile, with shaping equipment, to produce moulded timber products.The unit applies to production workers who cut panels to profile in a forest and wood products factory setting.and includes operator maintenance.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

measuring equipment

profiling equipment which includes one or more of the following:

multi-head planing machines (four siders)

spindle moulders

routing machines

shaping machines

machine guides

maintenance tools and equipment

consumable profile cutting blades in various shapes and sizes

personal protective equipment suitable for cutting panels to profile

commercial timber which includes one or more of the following:

medium density fibreboard

laminated veneer

chipboard

fibreboard

manufacturers’ instructions for use and maintenance of equipment

work order for cutting activities with specific instructions for cutting and storing panels

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

template documents for recording production outcomes, equipment faults and maintenance requirements

organisational procedures for cutting panels to profile.

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.
