3776 Produce Fault Free Fibreboard on a Double Backer and Platen Section During Long Production

Explanatory notes

1All workplace practices must meet any applicable and recognised codes of practice, and documented workplace health, safety, and environmental procedures for personal, product, workplace health, safety, and environmental matters, and the obligations required under current law including the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, Resource Management Act 1991, Privacy Act 1993 and their subsequent amendments.

2Workplace practices refer to the documented procedures for the equipment and/or workplace.

3Where referred to, ‘plant listed maximum’ speed is that determined by each workplace as appropriate for the board dimensions, board type, and run length in production.

4Misalignment is measured at operator side, and is assessed as a fault where: in double faced board the edge of the single face web is aligned more than 5mm from the edge of the bottom liner; and in twin cushion board where all three edges (of both the single face webs and the bottom liner) fail to align within a 5mm or lesser overall spread.

Outcomes and evidence requirements

Outcome 1

Produce fault free board for a continuous hour at high speeds.

Rangelong continuous production runs with no changes in grade or width or flute.

Evidence requirements

1.1Board is produced without any faults during production run.

Rangefaults are defined as – misalignment exceeding 5mm, washboarding, wet board, any form of delamination whether extensive or localised, wrinkles, folded edges, indentations or crushed or damaged board, leaning or deformed or damaged flutes.

1.2Double backer is operated in accordance with workplace practices.

Rangerunning speed – plant listed maximum;

required quality, safety requirements.

1.3Speed when using autosplicers does not fall below the slower of either the autosplicer's listed maximum or the double backer's plant listed maximum.

1.4Manual splices are made without speed being reduced below the plant listed maximum for longer than 45 seconds per splice.

Outcome 2

Follow safety requirements for the equipment being used.

Rangeoperating manual, workplace practices.

Evidence requirements

2.1Start up, shutdown and emergency procedures in the workplace are explained.

2.2Hazard control measures, as circulated by the company, are described and followed.

2.3Hazards or potential hazards in the workplace are identified and reported in accordance with workplace practices.

Please note

Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.

Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.

Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.

Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
