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 UEG Gas Industry Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

commissioning/decommissioning gas distribution pipelines must include:

carrying out job safety analysis (JSA)

commissioning and recommissioning workplace procedures

isolating venting and purging gas pipeline systems

obtaining the required work permit/authorisation

purging and venting calculations

testing for correct pressure, concentration and odourant level

using gas detectors

isolation methods must include at least two (2) of the following:

bagtube

high pressure stop off

hot tap and stopple

squash off jacks/pliers

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.
