Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Use operator interface

1.1

Keyboards, track ball and monitor and/or stand-alone controllers are used to access control system/panel

1.2

Glass processing task is monitored using the operator interfaces selecting appropriate controller modes

1.3

Historical data and information are accessed as required

1.4

Messages and alarms are monitored and acknowledged with appropriate action taken

1.5

Advanced control features are accessed and managed as appropriate

2

Access control information

2.1

Relevant data and information are accessed from the control system by applying systems knowledge

2.2

Status of individual pieces of equipment is determine from the control panel readings and the information used to identify potential faults

2.3

Fluctuations and variations in process through the interpretation of existing trends and control schematics are minimised

2.4

Overall operating effectiveness of the plant area is determine and related to the required targets for the area

2.5

Process variations/irregularities to procedures are recoded as necessary

3

Control process variations and monitor operations

3.1

Historical data on plant operations are used to assist the identification of problems and all available information processed to identify potential faults

3.2

Required set point/output changes are undertaken to meet plant area and process requirements

3.3

Production is adjusted in response to test results and control panel information

3.4

Key process and environmental variables are monitored and appropriate action taken

3.5

Controller settings are adjusted in accordance with procedures with advanced control features utilised as appropriate

3.6

Plant area is optimised in accordance with guidelines

3.7

Calibration operations are made as appropriate

3.8

Coordination with stakeholders external to the plant area is undertaken as required

3.9

Adjustments and variations to specifications/schedules are recorded and communicated to appropriate personnel

4

Facilitate planned and unplanned process start-ups and shutdowns

4.1

Procedures to planned startup and shutdown processes are selected and applied

4.2

Procedures to unplanned shutdown processes are selected and applied where required

4.3

Required emergency responses are implemented

4.4

Necessary information is communicated to all personnel affected by events

4.5

Required information is logged regularly

5

Respond to alarms or out of specification conditions and control hazards

5.1

System(s) affected by the alarm or condition are identified, prioritised and appropriate action taken

5.2

Alarm or incidents are responded to promptly by following procedures

5.3

Any out of specification material is dealt with in accordance with procedures and the problem/solution communicated to appropriate personnel

5.4

Incident information is recorded as required and details of the alarm and action taken communicated to the next shift at change over

5.5

Incidents are followed up to confirm that appropriate action has been taken

5.6

Hazards in the production/processing work area are identified and the risks arising from those hazards assessed

5.7

Measures to control risks are implemented in line with procedures and duty of care

6

Resolve other problems within scope of responsibility

6.1

Possible problems in equipment, control systems or process are identified to determine problems needing action

6.2

Possible fault causes are established and problems rectified using appropriate solution within area of responsibility

6.3

Initiated control actions are followed through until final resolution has occurred with problems outside area of responsibility reported to designated person
