Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to operate laminate and veneer bonding machinist to apply laminate and veneer to board surfaces. The unit applies to production operators and technicians who laminate and veneer board surfaces in a forest and wood products factory setting and includes shutting down and cleaning equipment.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:

laminate and veneer bonding machines

glue spreading stations

heat rollers

maintenance tools and equipment

personal protective equipment suitable for laminating and veneering board surfaces

commercial boards including:

medium density fibreboard

chipboard

fibreboard

plywood

laminating material:

laminate

veneer

glue

manufacturers’ instructions for use and cleaning of equipment

work order with specific instructions for laminating and veneering board surfaces

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

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

organisational procedures for laminating and veneering board surfaces.

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.
