Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to manage and coordinate an emergency response.This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to assess the magnitude and impact of the emergency, gather and coordinate all of the necessary emergency response personnel and equipment and direct their implementation, and initiate all of the necessary communication responses, both within and outside the facility.In a typical scenario the person in charge of a facility undertakes the management, coordination and response to emergency situations within the facility.Typical facilities could include:onshore/offshore installation/rigfloating facility (e.g. floating storage and offloading (FSO), floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO), and floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG))onshore hydrocarbons production, processing and/or storage facilitiespipeline and related facilitieschemicals manufacturing plant.This unit of competency applies to persons who would normally be in control or command of the facility or be required to deputise in this role.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. Assessment for this unit of competency will be in a simulated environment. Simulation should be based on emergency incidents relevant to the particular facility/installation and will include walk-throughs of the relevant competency components. Simulations may also include the use of case studies/scenarios, role plays and 3-D virtual reality interactive systems. ‘War gaming’ is an appropriate approach. The unit will be assessed in as holistic a manner as is practical and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence: must provide evidence of the ability to manage emergency incidents over the range of situations which might be expected to be encountered must include the demonstration of managing and coordinating an emergency incident in a simulated environment. Assessment should occur in a simulated environment which sufficiently replicates 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. 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. |
