Description
This unit applies to employees required to apply knowledge of materials, product purpose and processes to the operation of roller building equipment. It typically applies to the rubber sector.This competency is typically performed by all advanced operators working either independently or as part of a work team.

- 3.7 Make adjustments to remedy faults and non-conformity to production standards.
- 3.8 Collect and re-use material which is able to be reprocessed and deal with waste and scrap to procedures.
- 3.9 Complete equipment cleanup, lubrication, adjustment and waste management to procedures.
- 3.10 Compare product quality including thickness and product integrity with process specifications for green rubber product.
4. Anticipate and solve problems.
- 4.1 Recognise a problem or a potential problem.
- 4.2 Determine problems needing priority action.
- 4.3 Refer problems outside area of responsibility to appropriate person, with possible causes.
- 4.4 Seek information and assistance as required to solve problems.
- 4.5 Solve problems within area of responsibility.
- 4.6 Follow through items initiated until final resolution has occurred.
RANGE STATEMENT
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.
Context
This competency applies to the production/building of rubber rollers in the rubber industry. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the roller building process.
Procedures
All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.
Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.
Tools and equipment
This competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:
hand carts and trolleys
knives and other sheet cutting equipment
hoists/lifting equipment not requiring any special permits or licences
solvent application/wiping gear
hand tools used in the roller building process
relevant personal protective equipment.
Hazards
Typical hazards include:
solvent
vapours
hazardous materials
manual handling hazards
knife hazards.
Problems
'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/a solution recorded in the procedures.
Typical process and product problems may include:
variations in materials or wrong materials
contamination of materials
contamination of core/spindle
porous, damaged or unsuitable core/spindle
processing problems, including incorrect building.
Variables
Key variables to be monitored include:
operating temperatures
speed
colour
cushion specification
cycle time
output rate
product integrity and general conformance to specification/sample.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, required skills and knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.
Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit. These may include the ability to:
identify critical materials properties and roller building process characteristics in relation to the process requirements and the end product
plan own work process within workplace procedures and explain the reasons for the steps in the process
take appropriate action to observe equipment, materials and products for out of specification results, make adjustments and identify problems to be reported
Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:
production quality and output standards are met consistently
problems are anticipated from process observations
problems are efficiently resolved
the process runs consistently and smoothly.
Assessment method and context
Assessment will occur on industrial roller building equipment in a work-like environment.
Competence in this unit may be assessed:
by using appropriate, industrial roller building equipment
in a situation allowing for the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems
by using a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios
through a combination of these techniques.
In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment. Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.
Specific resources for assessment
This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
