Definitions
Mobile plant refers to forklifts with a minimum tare weight of 12 tonne and fitted with
frame extensions, or side loaders moving over-length material (more than 50%
longer than the machine) within a wood manufacturing operation.
Manufactured wood products refer to solid wood, pulp and paper, wood panel, or
engineered wood products.
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, and manufacturer's information.

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.
