Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to assist in the construction and operation of a non-permanent inland pipeline distribution system and to perform liquid transfer operations.It includes preparing and assisting in the construction of inland pipeline distribution systems. It also includes transferring liquid and maintaining an inland pipeline distribution system incorporating equipment recovery.This unit is applicable in environments where a need exists to transfer liquids such as fuel and water over distances ranging from 600 m to 37 km.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Persons undertaking this unit work in teams under direct supervision, follow set procedures and methods that require some discretion and judgement. The size of the team varies and will increase as the length of the pipeline increases.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations, where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

liquid pipelines, pumping equipment and suitable products

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, safety equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry including:

eye protection

hearing protection

high visibility clothing

gloves

safety headwear and footwear

applicable documentation including specific workplace operating procedures, publications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
