Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify operational requirements for the project
   • Review initial design specifications for project
   • Analyse proposed requirements, including operational requirements, manning levels and expertise required for the proposed works
   • Document operation review as required by the project
2. Review design
   • Review design for operational safety of proposed works
   • Contribute operational expertise to systematic safety review process as part of the project team
   • Review instrumentation and controls for operability
   • Review control sequences and control screen layouts for operability considerations
   • Document operability reviews of design as required by the project
3. Develop procedures and training to meet project needs
   • Develop procedures for commissioning and/or operations
   • Develop training materials for operators based on design information
   • Review operator training and procedures with project design team
   • Document procedures, training and reviews as required by the project

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 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.
Hazards	Hazards include one or more of the following: operability and related ergonomic issues electricity gases and liquids under pressure structural hazards equipment failures industrial (machinery, equipment and product) noise, rotational equipment or vibration plant 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 or vapours flammability and explosivity hazardous products and materials extreme weather other hazards that might arise
Procedures	All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures. Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, include one or more of the following: emergency procedures work instructions standard operating procedures (SOPs) safe work method statements (SWMS) formulas/recipes batch sheets temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant

Performance Evidence

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

analyse and interpret schematics, technical information, performance data and operational practices

review project designs for safety and operability issues

communicate and negotiate effectively with internal and external stakeholders

clearly convey complex/technical information in writing

use language, structures and formats that are appropriate to information needs, the reader and organisation requirements.

---

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

plant equipment, its characteristics and limitations

impact of variations in plant/process and the distinctive signs of each variation

process chemistry, physics and biochemistry as relevant (e.g. to the extent of writing chemical equations and identifying factors controlling reaction rate and yield or equivalent, or determining mass or heat transfer rates for a process)

organisational operating procedures and training materials

safety review procedures and techniques (e.g. hazard and operability study (HAZOP))

systems operating parameters, system integrity limits, product specifications and tolerances

process control philosophies and strategies

principles of operation of plant/equipment

hierarchy of control

hazards that may arise in the job/work environment. and:

their possible causes

potential consequences

appropriate risk controls.
