Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to PMBPROD209C Operate cable winding equipment
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to operate cable winding equipment and ancillary equipment that is integral to the process. Cable winding equipment is typically used to store cable products or materials on reels ready for production, post-production or despatch.
This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to carry out pre-start checks, check settings and adjustments of preset equipment, monitor and adjust the equipment, and recognise routine and non-routine problems and take appropriate action.
This unit of competency applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team or group and working in liaison with other shift team members, team leader and supervisor, as appropriate.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
