Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to operators of concrete batching plants in the pre-mixed and/or manufactured concrete products industries. It includes both wet and dry batching.It is NOT intended to apply to the use of manually charged/discharged concrete mixers such as might be used by builders on sites. PMC551003B Operate equipment applies to those mixers. This unit of competency includes the operation of the batching plant using PLCs where applicable and of all equipment which is ancillary to the operation of the batching plant. The operation of equipment such as front end loaders, conveyors and hoppers are covered by other units (see PMC562070B Move materials, PMC562071C Operate bulk materials handling equipment).In a typical scenario an operator runs the concrete batching equipment to meet product specifications and delivery requirements and/or production schedules. The operator is able to read and interpret these requirements and make necessary adjustments to meet the specifications. This competency is typically performed by operators working either independently or as part of a team. | ||
