Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to co-ordinate and implement pulping plant shutdowns (both planned and unplanned) in the pulp and paper industry. This unit applies to operators and technicians who co-ordinate and implement pulping plant shutdowns, in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations.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:

access to the full range of chemicals and equipment required to co-ordinate and implement the shutdown of pulping operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

test and diagnostic equipment

personal protective equipment required for implementing pulping plant shutdowns

template documents for recording shutdown information

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or in a productive environment that accurately reflects performance in a workplace.

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.
