Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use high pressure water jetting equipment under the supervision of a competent operator. The job may be to clean, prepare, abrade, cut or demolish concrete, steel or other plant, equipment, vessels or infrastructure. Work will be undertaken on a worksite which may be a client's site or a site belonging to the organisation. This work is undertaken in compliance with AS/NZS 4233.1:2013 High pressure water jetting systems - Safe operation and maintenance, or its authorised replacement and Safe Work Australia Guide for Managing Risks from High Pressure Water Jetting December 2013, its state/territory equivalent (where one exists) or the authorised replacement. AS/NZS 4233.1:2013High pressure water jetting systems - Safe operation and maintenance defines this work as work with:(a) High pressure water jetting systems pressurised by positive displacement pumps with an output capability greater than 800 bar litres per minute.(b) High pressure water jetting operations carried out at pressures above 800 bar litres per minute and includes jetting operations involving the use of additives and abrasives.(c) Water jetting operations below 800 bar litres per minute where there is a foreseeable risk of injury to operators.It further defines:High pressure water jetting systems with an output capability greater than 800 bar litres per minute and less than 5600 bar litres per minute are identified as Class A and systems with an output capability in excess of 5600 bar litres per minute are identified as Class B.This unit covers an operator who is competent to operate under supervision. For a competent operator who is to operate independently MSMWJ301A Operate a high pressure water jetting system should be used.AS/NZS 4233.1:2013High pressure water jetting systems - Safe operation and maintenance states that 'Verification of competency or refresher training on high pressure water jetting operations shall be carried out and documented at appropriate intervals not exceeding two years to ensure the continued competency of operators'.Competence may also be required in a range of other units of competency in order to be allowed to operate on site under supervision. No other 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. Competency must be achieved before performing this work under supervision. Therefore this unit will typically be assessed off the job. Where assessment is undertaken on the job appropriate supervision and safety precautions must be provided. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. While water jetting equipment meeting the requirements of Class B must be used, the plant/job requiring water jetting may be a realistic simulation of an industry plant/application/situation. All appropriate tools, equipment, paper work/permits and safety gear required will be available and used as required. The assessor should act as the supervisor, giving such directions as would be provided on the job. It is expected that one assessor would not observe a group larger than ten persons at the one assessment event. Off-the-job assessment must sufficiently reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of: walk-throughs demonstration of skills industry-based case studies/scenarios ‘what ifs’. Knowledge evidence will be collected independently of the above practical assessment and may use workbooks, written assessments, interviews (provided a record is kept) or other methods. 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. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit. Persons seeking verification of competence/retraining to comply with AS/NZS 4233.1:2013 High pressurewater jetting systems - Safe operation and maintenance, or its authorised replacement must meet the same evidence requirements as above. The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements. |
