Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to set up equipment, move timber products using transfer cars and rail systems and to shut down equipment. Work is completed in a forest products factory settingThe unit applies to Production worker (Laminates, Panel and Board, Veneer)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:

equipment used to transfer timber products which must include one or more of the following:

rail and electrically powered rail mounted transfer car systems

'follow me' trolleys

electronic-eye trolleys used in layup

communication equipment used to signal operation of transfer equipment

personal protective equipment suitable for transferring timber products

material for transfer including:

treated paper

wood chips

flakes

wood fibre

logs

bark

off-cuts

timber

raw board

panel products

veneer

manufacturers’ instructions for equipment use

work order with specific instructions for moving timber and timber products to and from a designated storage area

template documents for recording transfer processes and equipment faults

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

organisational procedures for transferring timber and timber products.

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
