Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICP Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • correctly operate and monitor machines according to job and enterprise requirements
  • demonstrate knowledge of all safety devices on the machine
  • operate, monitor, shut down and clean any ONE machine according to manufacturer’s specifications under the supervision of, or in conjunction with, a worker with the appropriate skills.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • handling of supplies, parts and finished product
  • explain how to avoid back strain when lifting heavy objects
  • explain how to avoid damaging finished product
  • identify supplies that require special handling

For reel systems only 

  • identify area of the web control system to adjust to maintain correct web tension

For sheet systems only 

  • outline areas of the transport and delivery systems to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
  • describe what to check when removing a substrate from the machine

Maintaining production processes 

  • outline the basic criteria for assessing finished product
  • list adjustments to the machine to correct TWO different production or quality problems

Shutdown procedures 

  • list areas of the machine that are modified during shutdown
  • identify areas of the machine to check for possible repair
  • describe details to include when labelling unused ink

Cleaning and washing machine 

  • explain how an ineffective wash-up can effect the following production run

Health and safety 

  • identify health and safety factors that must be considered when:
  • setting and/or operating machine transport and delivery systems
  • operating and monitoring the production process
  • washing a machine
  • safely switching off machinery before cleaning.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to a printing or converting machine in a production environment.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
