Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to plan and distribute woodchips to storage facilities for the production of pulp.The unit applies to production support operators who distribute woodchips in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility.Licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit in some states & territories at the time of publication and may differ according to jurisdiction
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 equipment involved in distributing woodchips in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

applicable work health and safety (WHS) and isolation work place procedures, environmental guidelines and safe working requirements, risks and hazard identification and workplace housekeeping requirements

personal protective equipment required for distributing woodchips

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

sample workplace documentation, procedures and reports relevant to distributing woodchips including SOP, environmental sustainability requirements/practices, plant manufacturing operating manuals, enterprise policies and procedures, oil or chemical spills and disposal guidelines, plant isolation documentation, safe work documentation

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
