Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify maintenance requirements
2. Identify equipment variations/irregularities using observed data and plant records
3. Assess the urgency/priority of the situation
4. Identify appropriate corrective action
5. Identify correct tools and materials
6. Assess the impact of the maintenance activity and communicate to appropriate personnel
7. Identify hazards and risk controls
8. Identify work permit requirements

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Regulatory framework	The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following: legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS) industry codes of practice and guidelines environmental regulations and guidelines Australian and other standards licence and certification requirements
Procedures	All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures. Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or more of the following: work instructions standard operating procedures (SOPs) safe work method statements (SWMS) temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant
Tools and equipment	Tools and equipment include one or more of the following: hand tools specialised tools measuring and aligning equipment
Hazards	Hazards include one or more of the following: rotating and moving machinery process materials, solids, liquids and gases under pressure or flowing hot surfaces or materials temporary connections or by-passes electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy sources out-of-specification operation other hazards that might arise
Data and plant records	Observed data and plant records include one or more of the following: plant data log sheets operational and performance reports equipment performance (e.g. speed, output and variations) equipment component performance sequences and timing of operations materials changes (desired and not desired) physical aspects, such as noise, smell, feel and pressure condition monitoring information planned maintenance schedules procedures manufacturer specifications, instructions, service manuals and other information

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include the ability to:

use available data and records to recognise fault and no-fault conditions in standard and non-standard situations

apply operational guidelines and known solutions to correct variations/irregularities

apply approved hazard control, work permit and safety procedures in relation to handling materials, equipment operation and clean up

identify the need for work permits and select the appropriate permit

apply maintenance procedures according to plant data and maintenance schedules.

---

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

principles of operation of the equipment to be maintained

function and troubleshooting of major internal components and their problems

appropriate testing procedures and use of equipment for a range of equipment faults

typical causes of equipment failures and the service conditions which may increase maintenance

types and nature of maintenance (preventative, predictive, corrective) uses, benefits and limitations

factors that may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies.
