Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency ICPSU202C - Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to load and unload product on and off machines. It should be assessed separately only when this is a substantial part of the worker's job. Otherwise it is integrated into most printing and converting, binding and finishing set up units.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit requires the individual to correctly prepare, load and unload product on and off machines according to OHS requirements and manufacturer/supplier's specifications with minimum downtime.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

the individual will correctly prepare, load and unload product on and off machines according to OHS requirements, manufacturer's/supplier's specifications with minimum downtime

prepare, load and unload product on and off any ONE appropriate machine incorporating specific enterprise requirements; manual techniques; fanning, turning, jogging (where appropriate) and stacking; to job and workplace specifications according to the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

printing or converting machine.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

this unit may be assessed at the same time as many printing or converting, binding and finishing set up units or screen printing produce print units.


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by working with the printer to ensure that reels are suitably prepared and brought to the production process

collecting, analysing and organising information by preparing product

planning and organising activities by loading product onto machines

teamwork when working with printer to ensure that correct substrates are loaded when needed to ensure efficient production

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating weights of substrates to ensure correct and safe handling; and calculating substrate use to ensure timely delivery and loading

problem-solving skills by preparing product for the next stage in the process

use of technology by using manual and automatic stackers

Required knowledge

information that can be obtained from the package label

substrate grain direction

watermarks identified in substrates

characteristics of coated and uncoated stocks

manual handling of the substrate

OHS concerns related to the manual handling of substrates

elements of a correctly knocked up stack

benefits of fanning sheets prior to stacking or loading

procedures in turning substrates

preparing and loading selected substrate

techniques used to ensure that the stack is knocked up correctly

methods used to ensure correct positioning of watermarked substrates

unloading sheets off the machine

OHS concerns related to the unloading of sheets off the machine

faults created by substrate being unloaded incorrectly

faulty substrates

conditions that cause a stack to be become uneven

techniques that can be employed to combat distorted stacks

machine manuals, safety and other documentation are relevant to this task and where are they kept and what information is included in these documents?

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Range of equipment may include:

range of printing, converting, binding and finishing, corrugating and laminating machines.

Substrate types may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, corrugated board, plastics and related films, metal, fabrics or textiles.

Substrate delivery may include:

large and small sheet/section delivery systems.

Substrate preparation may include:

manual and machine-based fanning, turning and jogging.

Feeding units may include:

manual and automatic single sheet and stream-fed pre-feeders and feeders.

Stacking units may include:

manual and automatic stackers.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
