Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply safety awareness and legislative requirements for Class A2, A2L and A3 flammable refrigerants.It includes applying safety and relevant legislation to safely handle and store flammable refrigerants.Dangerous goods and ozone protection, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS), and synthetic greenhouse gas management legislative requirements apply to this unit.The skills and knowledgein this unit will be applied by those managing, supervising or working in or near a location that contains refrigeration or air conditioning equipment usingflammable refrigerant. These could include managers, supervisors, maintenance staff, cleaners, employees and refrigeration and air conditioning technicians
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures

applying safe working practices to safely handle and store flammable refrigerant cylinders

applying work procedures and instructions as they apply to risk control measures

dealing with accidents and emergencies within the scope of responsibility

dealing with unplanned events

following workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control of flammable refrigerants

participating in consultation processes, identifying hazards and implementing and monitoring control measures

preparing to enter the workplace, including using work permits and clearances and isolation permissions

preparing to work with flammable refrigerants.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

emergency procedures and incident management requirements and procedures

first aid

problem-solving techniques

refrigerant disposal requirements

relevant acts, regulations, code of practice and industry standard requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Applying safety awareness and legal requirements for flammable refrigerants must include the following:

class A2, A2L and A3 refrigerants

safe handling, storage and transport of flammable refrigerant cylinders

labelling requirement for flammable refrigerant cylinders and systems containing flammable refrigerant

personal protective equipment (PPE) required for the safe handling of flammable refrigerant

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
