Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop a current understanding of the processes involved in the production of a reconstituted wood panel product, selected from chipboard, hardboard, medium and high-density fibre board (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB) or particle board. It includes types and characteristics of the selected reconstituted wood panel product, stages in the production of the reconstituted wood panel product, adhesives and adhesive systems used in the production of reconstituted wood panel product, and quality control in the production of reconstituted wood panel product.The unit applies to individuals who are engaged in a range of operational work roles in the production of reconstituted wood panel products.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
