Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must evidence that the individual has planned for, coordinated, and safely started up and shut down de-inking operations for at least two operational intervals, including for each operational interval:

  • determined and monitored process control points
  • monitored, assessed causes and adjusted systems to rectify variations from specifications and unplanned shutdown
  • used and interpreted electronic control systems during operations
  • applied safe use and handling of chemicals and materials
  • recorded and reported accurate operational data
  • communicated effectively and worked safely with others when undertaking de-inking operations.

Knowledge Evidence

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

  • workplace and legislative health and safety requirements relevant to performing de-inking operations, including emergency procedures, handling chemical and hazardous substances, high risk load shifting, licensing requirements, plant clearance and permit systems
  • relevant workplace and legislative environmental sustainability requirements and practices for de-inking operations, including workplace biotechnological applications and processes and biomass-derived products
  • methods used to identify and manage hazards and risks that apply to de-inking operations
  • de-inking systems and processes, plant layout and associated services relevant to carrying out start-up, stabilising and shutdown activities
  • standard operating procedures specific to de-inking operations
  • types, uses and characteristics of materials and additives used in the de-inking process, and how they influence paper properties
  • quality requirements for different types of de-inked stock
  • purpose of, and processes for, sampling and testing stock quality, plant and system operations
  • methods used to monitor de-inking system operations against specified system parameters
  • effect of process adjustments on stock quality and productivity during operation
  • application of electronic and other control systems used to operate, control and make appropriate adjustments to de-inking operations
  • responses used for unplanned shutdowns, including those caused by power outage, mechanical breakdown, blockages, jamming, air supply and control system failure
  • procedures for communicating, recording and reporting system and production data and information.
