Conduct testing of hazardous areas installations - coal mining

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Conduct testing of hazardous areas installations - coal mining' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1

Prepare to conduct testing.

1.1

OHS policies and procedures for preparing to work in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may be present are followed.

1.2

Area classification is ascertained from the hazardous area layout drawings or other classification documents.

1.3

Location of each item of equipment and of circuits subject to testing is determined from design drawings and documentation.

1.4

Special tools, equipment and testing devices needed for the testing work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety.

2

Conduct testing.

2.1

OHS policies and procedures for working in a hazardous area are followed.

2.2

Parts of equipment that are dismantled in order to conduct testing are stored to protect them against loss or damage.

2.3

Certified and approved low energy testing devices are selected and used to test into areas where explosive hazard may be present.

2.4

Sensitive circuit components that require to be tested which are likely to be damaged by high-test voltages are tested by an appropriate testing method.

2.5

Tests necessary to determine whether the electrical system complies with requirements for the explosion-protection techniques to be used and for electrical safety are conducted in accordance with established procedures.

2.6

When testing has been completed, equipment parts and circuit connections are replaced in a manner that ensures the integrity of the explosion-protection system.

3

Confirm and document test results.

3.1

Non-conformances and faults revealed by the testing and the resulting recommended actions are documented and reported to appropriate personnel.

3.2

Completion of testing is verified and a copy of the testing documentation submitted to the appropriate personnel for inclusion in the verification dossier in accordance with established procedures.
