Qualification -
Unit of Competency NWPIRR024 - Monitor and conduct maintenance on flow control and metering devices
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to monitor the operation of flow control. This includes measuring and regulating devices, controlling water supply source systems and/or distribution systems. This unit applies to those working as field staff with a responsibility for monitoring the operation of flow control, measuring and regulating devices, conducting maintenance and ensuring that problems and anomalies are rectified by specialist technicians. 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, particularly those related to WHS and manufacturer specifications.Those undertaking this unit would work under indirect supervision, performing routine tasks ensuring minimum damage to the environment, in a familiar context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
