List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Plan and prepare for work | 1.1 Interpret work requirements for monitoring flow control and metering devices from plans, drawing specifications and instructions. 1.2 Select and check equipment and tools to meet the safety requirements of the task and site. 1.3 Select, fit and use required safety equipment, including personal protective equipment. |
2. Monitor device and equipment performance | 2.1 Identify devices and equipment. 2.2 Check and interpret information and specifications on devices and equipment performance. 2.3 Report on devices and equipment performance. |
3. Conduct minor maintenance on devices and equipment | 3.1 Undertake routine maintenance tasks for complex devices. 3.2 Secure devices and equipment. 3.3 Identify and report problems and anomalies for correction. |
4. Monitor system performance | 4.1 Schedule and monitor routine inspections of system and networks. 4.2 Collect, analyse and report data on system performance and usage. |
5. Compile process records and reports | 5.1 Identify process faults and monitor the operational condition of the system and network. 5.2 Report on adjustment requirements and condition of the system. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.
identifying and reporting operational problems
collecting and reporting system performance information
inspecting flow regulation, measuring and regulating devices
producing reports and logs
using communication systems
giving and receiving instructions
interpreting plans, charts and instructions
interpreting policies, procedures and standards
monitoring the operation of flow control, measuring and regulating devices
selecting appropriate equipment and tools, including personal protective equipment
identifying devices and equipment to be monitored and relevant operational specifications
collecting and recording information on device performance
conducting routine maintenance tasks and securing devices
identifying and reporting problems and anomalies
inspecting system and networks
collecting and recording data on system performance
reporting monitoring and inspecting findings
identifying and reporting on system performance
Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.
monitoring flow control, measuring and regulating devices’ performance
system hydraulics
system layout
relevant utilities and service bodies
communication systems
materials handling
environmental, landscape and ground structure of water distribution system and network risk factors and potential hazards
equipment operation, capacity and limitations
effects of weather and conditions on operation of system and site
flow measurement procedures
data collection and recording
system flow control mechanisms and control systems
lock out procedures for mechanical and electrical installations
Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.
Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
