Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
In a typical scenario, an operator needs to undertake an activity on the plant, or related to the plant and uses a schematic as an aid in interpreting the plant and/or the plant systems or as an aid to explaining the plant/plant systems to another person (who may be another operator, technical specialist, member of management, maintenance worker or contractor).
The operator would:
find relevant information from the schematic
mark up a schematic for their own use or the use of another person
sketch a schematic, using relevant symbols, as part of an explanation to another person or as an aide memoir for themselves
This competency covers all general and common symbols and also includes those specific to the relevant plant which is the operator's area of responsibility. It includes those conventions which are applied by their place of work.
This competency covers the interpretation of process plant schematics for a range of operations uses. It includes a wide range of schematics.
