Use and maintain the integrity of a portable gas detection device

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

Books
Reference books for 'Use and maintain the integrity of a portable gas detection device' 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 use portable gas detection device.

1.1

The need to initiate gas detection is identified by OHS requirements and established procedures.

1.2

The gas or vapour to be detected is established from plant/site records or consultation with relevant personnel.

1.3

Gas detection device(s) for the gas/vapour to be detected is/are checked for calibration and response in accordance with manufacturer instructions.

1.4

Gas detection devices are checked for factors that could nullify the Ex rating.

Note:

This would include damaged casing, use of incorrect batteries and/or chargers, use of incorrect spare parts and accessories.

2

Establish safety of the area with regards to the presence of gases or vapours.

2.1

OHS policies and procedures relating to gas/vapour detection are followed.

2.2

Gas detection device is used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and with regards to environmental conditions.

2.3

Observations of gas detection readings are recorded in accordance with established procedures.

2.4

Safe-to-work is determined from gas detection reading and then clearance to work is issued in accordance with established procedures.

3

Monitor gas detection devices for the presence of gases/vapours.

3.1

The frequency of monitoring is determined from the nature of gas/vapour and the effect of environmental and local conditions (e.g. ambient temperature rise, density of gas/vapour, flash point, dew point and detector position).

3.2

Others are instructed in procedures to carry out monitoring and these instructions are documented.

4

Follow procedures to maintain gas detection devices.

4.1

Gas detection devices are stored in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.

4.2

Gas detection devices are formally checked and calibrated periodically in accordance with established site requirements and instrument accuracy.

4.3

Storage, use and calibration record of the gas detection devices is maintained, in accordance with the established procedures.
