10) This relates to the unit of competency as a whole providing the range of contexts and conditions to which the Performance Criteria apply. It allows for different work environments and situations that will affect performance. Systems, plant and or equipment may include electrical supply switchboard(s) and transformers; compressors; electrical motors; valves, actuators and dampers (electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical and manual); supervisory, protection, alarm and control equipment; cooling water plant and equipment; filters; strainers; moisture removal devices; pressure control devices; safety devices; high and low pressure systems; and fans. Gases may include nitrogen, ammonia, hydrogen and chlorine, carbon dioxide and Liquid Natural Gas. Safety standards may include relevant sections of Occupational Health and Safety legislation, enterprise safety rules, relevant state and federal legislation, national standards for plant and Australian standards. Information and documentation sources may include verbal and written communications, enterprise/site safety rules documentation/forms, equipment and alarm manuals, dedicated computer equipment, enterprise operating instructions, enterprise/site log book, enterprise standing instructions and plant notes and materials handling data sheets. Technical and operational indicators may include stimuli (audio, smell, touch, visual), local indicators and recorders, computers and alarms (visible and or audible). Communications may be by means of telephone, two way radio, pager, computer (electronic mail), operating log (written or verbal) and public address system. Tests may include motor direction checks, stand-by plant “cut-in” tests and performance tests. Appropriate personnel to consult, give or receive direction may include; supervisor/team leader or equivalent, power plant operations personnel or equivalent, technical and engineering officers or equivalent, contractor staff and maintenance staff. Test, fault finding and operating tools may include hand and power tools, proving dead equipment and high voltage testers. Operating environment may be during inclement or otherwise harsh weather conditions, in wet/noisy/dusty/hot areas and during continuous operation. Faults and abnormal operating conditions may include motor/pump/actuator/ valve/damper failure/malfunction, control equipment failure/malfunctions, loss of electrical supply to plant and equipment, loss/low cooling air/water, lubricating/power oil flow to plant/equipment, excessive vibration pumps/motors, high air/oil strainer /filter/ differentials, moisture removal plant and equipment malfunctions and excessive vibration pumps/motors. Generic terms are used throughout this Training Package for vocational standard shall be regarded as part of the Range Statement in which competency is demonstrated. The definition of these and other terms are given in Section 2.1 Preliminary Information and Glossaries. |
