Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

FWPWPP3234 - Operate a continuous press for the production of engineered wood panels

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for pressing operation

  1. Review and check work order, workplace health and safety requirements, environmental protection practices and emergency procedures for pressing operation with appropriate personnel
  2. Identify and report hazards and use personal protective equipment according to workplace requirements and health and safety legislation to maintain safe work practices
  3. Select the type and quantity of chips, flakes or fibre to be pressed, from a storage location
  4. Conduct pre-start checks on equipment according to manufacturer recommendations and site requirements
  5. Plan pressing process according to site procedures
  6. Communicate plan with relevant personnel as required, to ensure safety and production requirements are met

Form, press, test and transfer finished engineered wood panels

  1. Set and adjust press pressures, temperatures and product parameters according to production requirements
  2. Check operational condition and set-up of former to confirm mat condition
  3. Check forming equipment for defects and position to load press according to standard operating procedures
  4. Press engineered wood panels while monitoring and adjusting the panel position, feed rate, mat condition and press condition
  5. Plan size changes and line speeds to meet production schedules
  6. Regularly assess pressed engineered wood panels and thickness changes and make necessary changes to former, press set-up and blending requirements
  7. Test engineered wood panels samples to confirm adherence to industry standard, and reject defective panels
  8. Dispose of defective engineered wood panels according to environmental protection requirements
  9. Transfer finished engineered wood panels for further processing according to site requirements
