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 All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence. |
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 |
Hazards | Hazards include one or more of the following:electricitygasgases 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)working at heights, in restricted or confined spaces, or in environments subjected to heat, noise, dusts or vapoursflammability and explosivityhazardous products and materialsunauthorised personnelsharp edges, protrusions or obstructionsslippery surfaces, spills or leaksextreme weatherother hazards that might arise |
Routine problems | Routine problems must be resolved by applying known solutions. Routine problems are predictable and include one or more of the following:vibration/resonanceblockages/hydratesvalve seat wearvalve seal leakagevalve stem leakagemechanical failure (e.g. plug/gate)valve stickingKnown solutions are drawn from one or more of the following:procedurestrainingremembered experienceNon-routine problems must be reported according to according to relevant procedures. |
Action | Action in accordance with procedures includes the following:determining problems needing actiondetermining possible fault causesrectifying problem using appropriate solution within area of responsibilityfollowing through items initiated until final resolution has occurredreporting problems outside area of responsibility to designated person |
Operate | Operate is to monitor, adjust/change the plant item/unit/system to meet specifications, by one or more of the following:manually in the plant using local controller in the plantusing the process control system in the control room |
