This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform start-up, take-over/handover, monitor, shutdown and storage of a basic boiler used for all purposes, including the generation of steam.

All work is carried out to applicable state/territory and national work health and safety (WHS) legislation, standards and codes of practice.

Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, as appropriate should also be selected.

Some jurisdictions may require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 6

(add new lines for each of the 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.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Pre-operational checks include one or more of the following:	feed water supply boiler water level fuel supply/heat source boiler valves - their operation and position combustion air supply combustion equipment
Boilers include the following:	single fixed combustion air supply, non-modulating single heat source and fixed firing rate
Hazards include one (1) or more of the following:	chemical thermal manual handling guarding of machinery illumination of work area rubbish and combustibles leakage of steam and fuel
Monitor includes one (1) or more of the following:	steam pressure flame and combustion conditions feed system and condensate returns fuel system water level combustion management system water management system boiler and steam manifold fittings soot blowers
Handover includes the following:	previous load requirements maintenance issue, including equipment isolated for maintenance operational incidences completing/reading operating log general inspection of boiler to detect any defects accept responsibility of boiler noted equipment malfunctions required equipment tests
Storage mode includes one (1) or more of the following:	wet dry open condition closed condition

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.
