Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to identify, diagnose and rectify waste paper operations, in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. The unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify waste paper operations. 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 of waste paper operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

organisational workplace health and safety and standard procedures for waste paper operations in a pulp or paper mill

maintenance tools and equipment and consumables for waste paper operations

personal protective equipment suitable for inspecting and rectifying faulty waste paper equipment and product

template documents for recording system and product faults, diagnostic and corrective action processes operating procedures for inspecting and rectifying faulty waste paper equipment and product

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, 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

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.
