The process for defining and calculating warp percentage is as follows: when a warped board is laid on a level surface so as to form a shallow arch, the maximum vertical deviation from the horizontal is expressed as a percentage of the board dimension that forms the arch. 4 Assessments must be conducted where board sheet size is 20% above the machine s specified minimum limit and 20% below the machine s specified maximum limit. 5 Assessment is to be carried out on a new job, or a job involving the first time use of a new die or a reknived die. Outcomes and evidence requirements Outcome 1 Plan ahead, to avoid delays during make ready and during production running. 1.1 Procedures for the handling of priority orders where special job prioritisation is scheduled are described and followed in accordance with workplace practices. 1.2 Before make ready work begins, production order documentation is confirmed as the documentation required for the next job scheduled. 1.3 Identification for the initial pallet load is prepared in advance of production running in accordance with workplace practices. 1.4 All required materials and documentation are confirmed as available prior to make ready. may include but is not limited to dies, samples, lay cards, make ready sheets, slip sheets, pallets, tools, board to be run, load identification, production order, matrix. Outcome 2 Communicate to ensure that job requirements are met. 2.1 Staff responsible for delivering materials for the next job are clearly advised of the requirements in accordance with workplace practices ensuring that no avoidable delays occur. forkhoist operators, pre-press.

Outcome 4 Run the machine, in accordance with workplace practices, to make die cut product to meet job requirements. 4.1 All checks on the board to be die cut are carried out. checks may include but are not limited to board warp, delamination, wet board, damage to liners, print registration outside specification, inadequate ink coverage, print position outside specification. 4.2 Cutting, creasing and die cutting to print are all achieved to meet the job requirements. 4.3 Production running speed is maintained ensuring that required quality and production standards are met. 4.4 Checks for faults are carried out during production running. 4.5 Action is immediately taken to identify and rectify any faults, and fault free production running is successfully resumed. 4.6 Actions available to counter the effect of board warp exceeding 2% are explained in terms of workplace practices.

4 Page 4 of 5 Outcome 5 Stack product on a pallet or slip sheet, in accordance with workplace practices, to meet production order requirements. 5.1 Product is continuously stacked, throughout production. 5.2 Checks for obvious visible faults are carried out. obvious visible faults include cutting and creasing faults, die to print faults, damaged product, unstripped waste. 5.3 Actions to be taken in the event of faults ranged at evidence requirement 5.2 occurring are followed. 5.4 Load format and load identification are carried out. load format may include specific requirements for counts, bundling, strapping, unitising, palletising. 5.5 Documentation is completed. may include but is not limited to internal fault error sheets, time sheets, record of waste, production order data, quality control data, machine fault reports, feed stock sheets, maintenance sheets, load identification, provision of product sample(s), final count confirmation, information required for the next time the job is run. Outcome 6 Follow safety requirements for the machine being used. operating manual, workplace practices. 6.1 Machine start up, shutdown and emergency procedures in the workplace are explained. 6.2 Hazard control measures, as circulated by the company, are described and followed. 6.3 Hazards or potential hazards in the workplace are identified and reported in accordance with workplace practices.
