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 standards (or their authorised replacement) such as:AS 2885 (Set) Pipelines - Gas and liquid petroleum AS/NZS 1768:2007 Lightning protection AS/NZS 1596:2014 Storage and handling of LP Gas AS 2832 (set) Cathodic protection of metalsAS/NZS 3000:2007 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules)AS 2239-2003 Galvanic (sacrificial) anodes for cathodic protectionutility codes and 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. |
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 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:electricitygases and liquids under pressure equipment failuresflammability and explosivityextreme weatherother hazards that might arise |
Routine problems | Problems at this level includes both routine and non-routine problems.Routine problems are predictable and have known solutions and include one or more of the following:coating damage/deteriorationinterference from other systemsanode not workingincorrect current output from central processing unit (CPU)/transmission (TR) unitequipment fault/failureNon-routine problems are unexpected problems, or variations of previous problems and must be resolved by applying operational knowledge to develop new solutions, either individually or in collaboration with relevant experts, to:determine problems needing actiondetermine possible fault causesdevelop solutions to problems which do not have a known solutionfollow through items initiated until final resolution has occurredreport problems outside area of responsibility to designated personOperational knowledge includes one or more of the following:procedurestrainingtechnical information such as journals, engineering specificationsremembered experiencerelevant knowledge obtained from appropriate people. |
CP system | This unit of competency includes all such items of equipment and unit operations which form part of the CP system and includes, as appropriate to the site:solar powered power generation systems240 V power generation systemsCP system interruptersinsulation and monolithic jointsgalvanic anode bedsbattery banks (e.g. nicad and lead acid)transformer rectifiers and CPUslightning protection equipmentCP test pointsKirk cells |
