ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. Co-ordinate planned shutdown | 1.1. Use maintenance and grade change schedules to plan and co-ordinate shutdown of wet end operations. 1.2. Follow procedures to shut down process supplies. 1.3. Follow organisational safety and standard operating procedures to initiate appropriate isolations and shut down systems. 1.4. Inspect system and record and report further maintenance requirements. |
2. Respond to unplanned shutdown | 2.1. Respond to unplanned shutdown immediately. 2.2. Initiate appropriate isolations, identify and locate cause of unplanned shutdown. 2.3. Rectify, isolate and or contain faulty plant where possible to allow continued production. 2.4. Follow procedures to shut down process supplies where fault cannot be rectified. 2.5. Assess effects of unplanned shutdown to determine impact on operations. 2.6. Communicate unplanned shutdown to appropriate personnel. |
3. Record and report shutdown data | 3.1. Record shutdown and corrective action processes. 3.2. Report shutdown information to relevant personnel. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must be able to provide evidence that they can:
co-ordinate planned shutdowns of a wet end system within a pulp and paper manufacturing facility, at least twice in line with required enterprise intervals, and complete these activities after shutdown:
inspect the system for these maintenance requirements:
complete basic records for shutdown processes and maintenance requirements
respond to an unplanned or emergency shutdown and implement responses appropriate to the cause and complete a basic report on corrective action processes.
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

purpose, features and operation of wet end system plant, operating parameters and allowable variations
operation and application of electronic and other control systems
key features and purpose of processes involved in shutting down wet end systems including:
stock approach systems
forming system
pressing systems
cleaning and screening system
types, causes and effects of, and required emergency and other responses to, unplanned wet end system shutdowns including:
power outage
mechanical breakdown
blockages
jamming
air supply
control system failure
methods used to test wet end systems and diagnose faults
organisational procedures:
standard operating procedures specific to wet end shutdown
workplace health and safety with particular emphasis on equipment lock out and use of personal protective equipment
communication reporting lines
recording and reporting shutdown processes and maintenance requirements.
The following resources must be made available:
access to the full range of chemicals, equipment, and reporting and documentation procedures involved in co-ordinating and implementing the shutdown 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
test and diagnostic equipment
relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information
personal protective equipment required for implementing wet end shutdown
template documents for recording shutdown 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
