Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to determine production requirements, prepare and establish start up waste paper operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This unit applies to production operators and technicians who prepare and start up waste paper operations, in the pulp and paper industry. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations.No licensing, legislative 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 equipment involved in integrated continuous manufacturing for the start up of waste paper operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

personal protective equipment required for starting up waste paper operations

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

sample workplace documentation, procedures and reports including SOP, quality procedures, environmental sustainability requirements/practices, plant manufacturing operating manuals, 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

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.
