1 Page 1 of 5 Title Carry out automated assembly of wood packaging products Level 3 Credits 5 Purpose People credited with this unit standard are able to: demonstrate knowledge of the health and safety issues relevant to wood packaging product automated assembly; prepare for automated assembly; and set up, operate, and monitor automated machinery to assemble wood packaging products. Classification Solid Wood Manufacturing > Wood Product Manufacturing Skills Available grade Achieved Entry information Recommended skills and knowledge Unit 18963, Manually assemble wood packaging products; or demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills. Explanatory notes 1 All activities must be completed within a timeframe agreed between the candidate and the assessor. 2 The following apply to the performance of all outcomes of this unit standard: a All work practices must meet recognised codes of practice and documented worksite health and safety and environmental procedures (where these exceed code) for personal, product, and worksite health and safety, and must meet the obligations required under current legislation, including the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, the Resource Management Act 1991, and their subsequent amendments. b All work practices must meet documented worksite operating This includes the recording (by electronic or non-electronic means) of activities, events, and decisions. c All evidence of communications gathered in relation to this unit standard must be in accordance with worksite procedures for content, recipient, timing, and method. 3 Reference Guidelines for the Safe Use of Portable Mechanically Powered Nailers and Staplers (2001), published by OSH, Department of Labour and available through es+for+the+safe+use+of+portable+mechanically+powered+nailers+and+staplers+*.

Component refers to items that form the basic materials of a product to be constructed. NC (Numerically controlled) refers to computer programming for machinery to follow in automated processes. Sub-component refers to a constituent part of something more complex. Industry may refer to this as kit-set. Wood packaging products refer to products manufactured primarily from wood materials, used to store and transport goods. Examples include pallets, boxes, bins and crates. Worksite policies and procedures refer to documented policies and to documented or other directions provided to staff. These include, but are not limited to, ways of managing health and safety, environmental considerations, quality, and production, and must conform to legislation. Examples include standard operating procedures, company health and safety plans, on-site briefings, and supervisor s instructions. Outcomes and evidence requirements Outcome 1 Demonstrate knowledge of the health and safety issues relevant to wood packaging product automated assembly. 1.1 Safe work practices associated with wood packaging product automated assembly are identified and used in accordance with legislative requirements and worksite policies and practices may include but are not limited to isolation procedures, lockouts, emergency stops, machine guards, the wearing of appropriate safety equipment. 1.2 The consequences of non-conformance with worksite standards for the automated assembly of wood packaging products are described in terms of equipment damage, production loss, and personal hazard. Outcome 2 Prepare for automated assembly. 2.1 Solid wood packaging product automated assembly is described in terms of materials used, manufacturing processes performed by machinery and manually, and quality checks carried out.

Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards. Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards. Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
