Worksite documentation refers to instructions to staff on policy and procedures

(including the application of legislation to worksite situations), which are formally
documented, and are available for reference at the worksite. Examples are standard
operating procedures, specifications, manuals, manufacturer’s information and
operating throughout levels.

Worksite standards may include but are not limited to – start/stop procedures,
changeover time, use of change parts, tools, raw materials, other changeover
criteria, and adjustment and alignment.

2 The following apply to the performance of all elements 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 quality management

requirements. This includes the recording (by electronic or non-electronic
means) of activities, events, and decisions.

c All communications made in relation to this unit standard must be made in

accordance with worksite procedures for content, recipient, timing and method.

3 This unit standard is intended for work-based assessment. While all performance
criteria must be met, it is noted that some range statements within this unit standard
are indicative and dependent on enterprise and worksite specific equipment,
procedures, and practices.

For elements 1 and 2, candidates are therefore to be assessed against as many

items in each range note as are available at their worksite.

1.3 The operation of changeover equipment and tooling is described in accordance

with worksite documentation.

1.4 Hazards associated with the changeover of control systems are identified and
the role of protective equipment and safety features is explained in accordance
with worksite documentation.

Range safety features may include but are not limited to – energy
isolation procedures, lockouts, emergency stops, and guards;
hazards may include but are not limited to – in running nips,
moving parts, automated processes, sharp edges, hot materials
and machine parts, chemicals, noise and compressed air.

1.5 The consequences of non-conformance with worksite standards are described

in accordance with worksite documentation.

Element 2

Changeover the control systems on a diaper machine.

Performance criteria

2.1 Safe work practices are identified and used in accordance with worksite
documentation and legal requirements.

Range practices may include but are not limited to – energy isolation
procedures, lock outs, emergency stops, machine guarding, the
wearing of appropriate safety equipment.

2.2 The control systems are changed over in accordance with worksite standards
for changeover.

Range the changeover may include but is not limited to – programmable

limit switches, computer control system, electronic visual checking
system, date coder printer, and label machine.

2.3 The adjustments to the control systems enable the product specifications to be
met.

2.4 Following the changeover the machine performs in accordance with worksite
documentation.

Range guards, manufacturer’s specifications, operating speed and

settings stated in operating specifications.

worksite documentation.

Please note

Providers must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority, or an inter-institutional body

with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from
assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.

Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority before

they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.

Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.

Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
