Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to operate laminating presses and ancillary equipment to laminate board with treated material.The unit applies to production operators and technicians who laminate boards 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:

laminating press with bond spreading stations

feeding systems

personal protective equipment suitable for laminating board

commercial boards which must include one or more of the following:

medium density fibreboard

chipboard

plywood

fibreboard

laminating material which much include one or more of the following:

laminate

veneer

treated paper

bonding agent

manufacturers’ instructions for use and cleaning of equipment

work order with specific instructions for laminating board

template documents for recording production outcomes and equipment faults

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

organisational procedures for laminating boards.

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
