Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used. ContextThis competency applies to advanced operators who modify products. They will typically be based in a laboratory or similar pilot/product development area but will also have responsibility in the factory for monitoring new products and ensuring that modified products are suitable when released for standard production.An operator working at this level would typically be responsible to a more senior operator and would work closely with them on new products and major modifications of existing products. The operator would not be expected to develop a new product or make a major modification to an existing product unless under the direction of a more senior operator.ProceduresAll operations are performed in accordance with procedures.Procedures means all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)All operations are subject to stringent health, safety and environment requirements, which may be imposed through State 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 operator needs to ensure the HSE requirements take precedence.TestsTests includes the normal range of physical, chemical and environmental (weathering) tests which might be applied to the product.Trial productThe trial product may be full sized, or a scale version. Trial production will typically be 'one off' or small run compared to final production which will occur in normal run sizes under normal conditions.
