Elements and Performance Criteria
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 guidelinesenvironmental regulations and guidelines Australian and other standardslicence and certification requirements |
Hazards | Hazards include one or more of the following:smoke, darkness and heatdust or other atmospheric hazardselectricitygasgases and liquids under pressure structural hazardsstructural collapseequipment failuresindustrial (machinery, equipment and product)equipment or product massnoise, rotational equipment or vibrationplant services (steam, condensate and cooling water)limited head spaces or overhangs working at heights, in restricted or confined spaces, or in environments subjected to heat, dusts, smoke, vapours or other atmospheric hazardsflammability and explosivityhazardous products and materialsunauthorised personnelsharp edges, protrusions or obstructionsslippery surfaces, spills or leaksextreme weatherother hazards that might arise |
Dials and indicators | Dials and indicators include one or more of the following:analogue dials, such as: pressure gaugerev countertemperature dialdigital readouts, such as:pH metertemperature probeammeterflow meterweigh scales |
Calibration checks | Calibration checks include one or more of the following:checking the date that the next calibration is required (e.g. weigh scale and pressure gauge)using a calibration button on the instrument (e.g. zero button on an ammeter and calibration button on an electronic meter) |
Problems | Problems must be reported and corrective action taken according to relevant procedures.Problems include one or more of the following:measuring instrument not fit for use (e.g. not within calibration)appropriate measuring device not availabledeviations from normal range of readingseffect of temperature on material propertiesCorrective actions include one or more of the following:reporting to an appropriate persontaking action specified in the procedure |
Appropriate personnel | Appropriate personnel include one or more of the following:supervisormore senior operatorother designated personnel |
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:emergency procedureswork instructionsstandard operating procedures (SOPs)safe work method statements (SWMS)formulas/recipesbatch sheetstemporary instructionsany similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant |
