New training standard for paper machine tenders

A technical committee of TAPPI members working with NPT2, the National Network for Pulp and Paper Technology Training, has developed a training standard for paper machine tenders―T-1501. This new standard provides guidelines for the skills and knowledge needed by a paper machine tender—often referred to as the paper machine first hand.

This standard will also be useful as a measure of the capabilities and understanding that a person must have to successfully perform the machine tender function. As the first standard of this type based on the information sources referenced, this particular standard may serve as a model to see if similar standards would be useful for other pulp and paper mill job classifications.
