Critical aspects of evidence
It is essential for this unit that competence is demonstrated in:
locating, identifying, operating and restoring:
fire detection systems
fire suppression systems
hydrant systems
evacuation systems
smoke hazard management systems
implementing organisation's operating procedures relating to fire suppression
Interdependent assessment of units
Pre-requisite units:
PUAFIR206A Check installed fire safety systems
Co-requisite units:
Nil
Underpinning knowledge
components of a fire detection/suppression system
operation of fire detection/suppression systems
organisation's responsibility regarding fire detection and suppression systems
safety procedures relating to chemical/gaseous suppression systems
operating principles of an EWIS
roles and responsibilities of a warden
operating principles of air handling systems
function of component parts of mechanical venting and air handling equipment
function and components of hydrant systems
purpose of control and indicating equipment
organisation's procedures for reinstating fire safety systems
Underpinning skills
identify fire suppression and detection systems
operate an installed hydrant system
operate an installed suppression system
operate an EWIS
operate smoke hazard management system
report fire safety system equipment faults
Resource implications
This unit will require access to equipment and systems covered in the range of variables.
Consistency of performance
Evidence should be gathered over a period of time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments.
Context of assessment
Evidence of competence may be demonstrated on the job or by exercises in a simulated workplace environment
Written or verbal assessment of knowledge components may be used as supporting evidence
Checking, operating and reinstating of fire safety systems to be done under supervision
