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.Applicable legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice include:HSE legislation, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the workplace, materials and processes being used and products being made Australian/international standards relevant to the materials being used and products being made any relevant licence and certification requirementsAll operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent 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 such requirements the legislative 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 any combination of:test procedurestechnical specificationstechnical drawingsemergency procedureswork instructionsstandard operating procedures (SOPs)safe work method statements (SWMS)formulas/recipesbatch sheetstemporary instructionsany similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant. |
Performance Evidence
Knowledge Evidence
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job sufficient to fulfil their job role, including knowledge of:
basic chemistry and physics as relevant to the products and processsignificance of materials properties, including:particle size, size distribution, particle shape and porosityflow properties and melt viscosityrigidity, tensile yield strength, modulus and impact strengthbrittle and ductile failuredimensional and thermal stabilityproperty changes caused by different processing methods and conditions typical processing conditions for common productsproperty changes caused by using additivesrole and mechanism of reinforcement, including one (1) or more of:silicas and claysglassfibressteeltest methods, including:environmental tests - ultra-violet (UV), environmental stress, cracking, weatherometer and chemical resistancemechanical tests - tensile, creep, coefficient of friction, wear resistance/abrasion and densitychemical/analytical testscolour tests - colour coordinates (LAB), colour difference (dE)properties and applications of materials and additivesorganisation procedures relevant to the work environment/job rolehierarchy of controlhazards that may arise in the job/work environment and:their possible causes potential consequencesappropriate risk controls.
