Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to coordinate and implement pulping plant shutdowns (both planned and unplanned) in the pulp and paper industry.
This unit applies to operators and technicians who coordinate and implement pulping plant shutdowns, in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
