This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to prepare safe design specifications of a gas system.

It includes identifying safe system/installation design specifications, preparing gas system input and output performance criteria, and assessing environment impact of gas the system. It also includes identifying and evaluating gas system options, and preparing system specifications for natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

This unit applies to safe work site where gas industry operations occur. It could also apply, where applicable, to other workplaces in the electricity supply industry (transmission and distribution and generation), the electrotechnology industry and the water industry, subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and duty of care requirements being met for the workplace.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEG Gas Industry Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
constants and variables must include:	gas system environmental hazards system logistics resources relevant documentation legislative compliance safe design principles relevant authorities
gas systems must include at least six (6) of the following (at least the first three, OR the last three):	natural gas systems transmission and distribution pipelines control systems custody transfer stations odorising plant corrosion control interconnecting system LPG storage greater than 50 kL underground storage tankers and ships
environmental hazards must include at least three (3) of the following:	hazards associated with LPG hazards associated with natural gas geological features soil types neighbouring plants residential areas separation distances and emission and contamination hazards
gas system logistics must include at least one (1) of the following:	land and sea transport routes and equipment transmission and distribution pipelines land ownership and easements
relevant persons must include at least two (2) of the following:	company planners and marketers department heads business unit managers company engineers and consultant engineers technical specialists statutory authorities and environmental specialists
legislative requirements must include at least two (2) of the following:	WHS/OHS legislation relevant government acts, regulations and codes of practice local government traffic management
relevant authorities must include at least two (2) of the following:	local and shire councils local government authorities emergency transport authorities rail departments landowners/traditional land owners
relevant documentation must include at least eight (8) of the following:	contracts specifications/drawings/plans manufacturer specifications work permits company standard operation and safety procedures company management plans and policies hot work permits company forms and files WHS/OHS legislation and codes of practice other government legislation pipeline licenses quality assurance commercial agreements

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
WHS/OHS principles and practices and environmental and sustainable energy workplace procedures which may influence the systems are reviewed and determined
Proposed gas system usage is analysed and technical requirements of the system are investigated and expected outcomes of design work are confirmed with the appropriate persons
Organisational procedures on policies and specifications for the gas system design are obtained or determined with appropriate persons
Testing parameters are determined from organisational workplace procedures on policies and gas system specifications and discussed with appropriate person/s to ascertain the gas system project brief
Equipment, tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and coordinated based on specified requirements and workplace procedures
Work roles and tasks are allocated in accordance with design requirements and person/s competency
Work is prioritised and sequenced for the most effective outcome, completed within an acceptable timeframe to an industry quality standard and in accordance with workplace procedures
Liaison and communication with authorised persons, authorities, clients and land owners are undertaken to resolve gas system issues and coordinate design work activities
Risk control measures are identified, prioritised and evaluated against the work schedule
Relevant work permits are secured to coordinate the performance of work in accordance with requirements and workplace procedures
Gas system logistics are determined and environmental impact on interconnected systems is assessed
Review of gas system are undertaken to ensure design complies with requirements and includes specifications and documentation needed to complete the gas project
