Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to operate the control panel during a declared emergency. While most PMA units focus on keeping out of trouble, this unit applies once an emergency has been declared or where conditions in the plant or process have escalated to an emergency. This unit of competency deals with applying the relevant technical and plant knowledge to assess, monitor and respond to an emergency and maintain operations as appropriate during an emergency.This competency applies to an individual working as part of a team or group and working in liaison with other shift and emergency response team members, and the incident commander and control room operator, as appropriate.This unit is relevant to the National Standard for the Control of Major Hazard Facilities [NOHSC:1014 (2002)] and the National Code of Practice for the Control of Major Hazard Facilities [NOHSC:2016(1996)]. Contextualisation must be undertaken in order to ensure compliance with specific state or territory legislation. 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. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence: should occur over a range of abnormal situations which include emergencies may use industry-based simulation for all of the unit may use a DCS linked to a plant simulator where a suitable simulator is available must simulate emergency situations appropriate to the plant. Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from demonstration of skills in a simulated environment and one or more of: walk-throughs pilot plant operation use of a simulator industry-based case studies/scenarios ‘what ifs’. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept). 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. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. In addition, the assessor or anyone acting in subject matter expert role in assessment must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. If the assessor cannot demonstrate technical competency and currency they must assess with a subject matter expert who does meet these requirements. Technical competence can be demonstrated through one or more of: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment appropriate workplace experience undertaking the type of work being assessed under routine and non-routine conditions appropriate workplace experience supervising/evaluating the type of work being assessed under routine and non-routine conditions Currency can be demonstrated through one or more of: being currently employed undertaking the type of work being assessed being employed by the organisation undertaking the type of work being assessed and having maintained currency in accordance with that organisation’s policies and procedures having consulted/had contact with an organisation undertaking the type of work being assessed within the last twelve months, the consultation/contact being related to assessment conducting on-the-job training/assessments of the type of work being assessed being an active member of a relevant professional body and participating in activities relevant to the assessment of this type of work |
