Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit specifies the outcomes required to operate a reciprocating steam engine for licensing purposes, which includes the operation of steam equipment where the steam acts upon a piston under pressure. Reciprocating steam engine means equipment that is driven by steam acting on a piston causing the piston to move and includes and expanding (steam) reciprocating engine.High risk work is classed as the operation of a reciprocating steam engine where the diameter of any piston exceeds 250 millimetres.This unit requires the operator to plan the work, carry out pre-operational safety checks, start the reciprocating steam engine, monitor the reciprocating steam engine operation, carry out shut down of reciprocating steam engine for operational and maintenance purposes.A person performing this work is required to hold a reciprocating steam engine operation high risk work (HRW) licence.Licensing/Regulatory informationThis unit is based on the licensing requirements of Part 4.5 of the Model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations, HRW and meets Commonwealth, state and territory HRW licensing requirements. Any alteration to this unit would result in a unit that would not be acceptable to Work, Health and Safety (WHS)/Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulators for the purpose of licensing. | ||
