Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to match, stitch, tape or glue slices of veneer in readiness for bonding to panel products.The unit applies to production operators and technicians who match and join veneer in a forest and wood products factory setting.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:

clipping machines

guillotines

veneer sewing equipment

veneer gluing equipment

veneer taping equipment

personal protective equipment suitable for matching and joining veneer

consumable tape and glue

commercial single thickness veneer of varying thicknesses

manufacturers’:

instructions for equipment use

safety data sheets for glue

work order with specific instructions for matching and joining veneer

template documents for recording production outcomes and equipment faults

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

organisational procedures for matching and joining veneer.

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
