| 1.7 | Communicate results of negotiations to relevant stakeholders |
2 | Issue required permits | 2.1 | List those jobs which will be allowed to proceed in the time period |
| 2.2 | Confirm hazard controls required for these jobs |
| 2.3 | Identify jobs which have impacts across plant areas |
| 2.4 | Ensure controls and communications are adequate |
| 2.5 | Issue/cause to be issued required permits |
| 2.6 | Report as required by procedures |
3 | Audit live permits | 3.1 | Audit plant preparations. |
| 3.2 | Audit permit issuing process |
| 3.3 | Check appropriate controls have been specified |
| 3.4 | Audit handover/sign-on process |
| 3.5 | Audit work in progress for conformance to permit conditions |
| 3.6 | Audit work completion and hand back/close out process |
| 3.7 | Audit deisolation and return to work preparations |
| 3.8 | Take immediate and appropriate action on any problems found |
| 3.9 | Report on audit as required by procedures |
4 | Audit past permits | 4.1 | Obtain relevant paper work |
| 4.2 | Check for conformance to procedures |
| 4.3 | Check for appropriateness of specified hazard controls |
| 4.4 | Identify any non-conformance |
| 4.5 | Identify systemic non-conformances |
| 4.6 | Take any immediate action which is appropriate |
| 4.7 | Report on audit as required by procedures |
5 | Analyse audit findings | 5.1 | Identify improvements to the permit system |
| 5.2 | Identify improvements to the implementation of the permit system |
| 5.3 | Suggest improvements to the permit system as appropriate |
| 5.4 | Suggest improvements to hazard analysis processes |
| 5.5 | Suggest improvements to the plant preparation/return to operations processes |
| 5.6 | Suggest improvements to hazard controls |
| 5.7 | Suggest training required as appropriate |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
prepare and issue at least one (1) permit from three (3) different permit types
analyse and resolve two (2) or more jobs with the potential to have conflict
prepare at least one (1) audit report on live permits and one (1) on past permits, including the analysis of the audit findings
analyse all current and proposed work to determine hazard controls and permit requirements
coordinate the issue of permits for planned jobs
ensure that issued permits specify appropriate conditions
plan and undertake audits of live and past permits
analyse audit results and identify improvements
identify non-conformances and take appropriate action
communicate effectively with team/work group and other personnel.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
organisation work control system procedures
the operations of the plant and each major unit in it
hazards that may arise in plant materials, processes and process conditions, including:
their possible causes
potential consequences
appropriate risk controls
hierarchy of control
plant preparation and isolation procedures
auditing principles.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should provide evidence of the ability to perform over the range of situations which might be expected to be encountered, including typical disruptions to normal, smooth work conditions
may use industry-based simulation particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.
Off-the-job assessment must sufficiently reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of:
walk-throughs
demonstration of skills
industry based case studies/scenarios
‘what ifs’.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
