Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate winding equipment as part of processing wire spools or conveyor belts.This unit applies to an experienced technician working alone or as part of a team.The unit principally refers to the winding operation involving heavy wire or rubber conveyor belting, and hazardous, fast winding speeds, so efficient and safe operation is paramount. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
