Qualification Description
This qualification describes the skills and knowledge of individuals who perform production support roles in a pulping operation. Work activities are mainly routine and involve the application of fundamental operational skills and knowledge in a defined context and range of situations. Individuals in these roles generally work under direct supervision. They would be expected to apply knowledge to solve a limited range of predictable problems by applying familiar solutions.
Job roles
A key focus of the qualification, and therefore vocational outcomes, is on skills for providing operations support, mainly through monitoring and controlling pulping and ancillary equipment and processes, and will reflect the duties of a Production Support employee in one or more of the following areas:
Hydrapulping; pulping machine operations; machine operations; pulp handling; bale handling; fibre preparation; stock preparation.
Co-located job roles
Electricity Generation/Turbine Operator; Steam Generation/Boilerhouse Operator; Water Services Operator; Chemical Recovery Operator; Chemical Preparation worker.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to some units in this qualification in some states and territories at the time of publication and may differ according to jurisdiction.
Entry Requirements
There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
Packaging Rules
To achieve this qualification, competency must be demonstrated in:
- 11 units of competency:
- 3 core units plus
- 8 elective units.
Elective units must ensure the integrity of the qualification’s Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) alignment and contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome.
All units within at least one Industry Specific group must be selected. Remaining electives may be selected from the Elective Units list and can include up to two (2) units from an endorsed Training Package or State/Territory accredited course.
In the Steam Generation sector, if the type of equipment used denotes that a High Risk Work Licence is required, the unit MSMBLIC001 must be used. For equipment use that does not require a High Risk Work Licence, the PPMSTM units may be used.
