Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application ReleaseComment1Replaces equivalent unit FPPWEO210A Monitor and control wet end operations which was first released with FPP10 Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Industry Training Package Version 1.0.This is the first release of this unit in the new standards format.
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 tools and equipment involved in integrated continuous manufacturing of wet end operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

fully automated, semi-automated, manually operated plant and equipment appropriate to the wet end process and related consumables

personal protective equipment required for monitoring and controlling wet end operations

test and diagnostic equipment

electronic control systems which includes Digital Control System (DCS), touch screens or robotics

sample workplace documentation relevant to wet end systems regarding work health and safety (WHS) procedures, risks and hazards identification procedures, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP and housekeeping requirements

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.
