Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for treating |
1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to surface treating raw board are identified and followed 1.2. Work order is reviewed and checked with appropriate personnel 1.3. Type and quantity of raw boards to be surface treated is acquired from the storage location 1.4. Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations 1.5. Material surface treating feed rates and chemical products are selected and planned in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 1.6. Communication with others is established and maintained in line within OHS requirements |
2. Surface treat raw boards |
2.1. Surface treatment is applied with additive flow rates continually monitored and adjusted in line with site requirements 2.2. Spray operations are continually checked with blockages and filters cleared to maintain spray coverage to specifications 2.3. Boards are regularly checked for surface quality and contamination in line with site requirements and corrective action taken 2.4. Sub-standard boards are removed from the treatment process and reviewed for further action 2.5. Processing and equipment faults are recorded and reported to appropriate personnel 2.6. Material is safely dried and stacked in a designated location in line with work order requirements |
3. Shut down and clean equipment |
3.1. Shutdown procedures are coordinated with other line operators and followed in line with OHS legislation and site procedures 3.2. Pumps are turned off and equipment flushed in line with organisational standard operating procedures 3.3.
