Provide fluids for utilities and support
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
In a typical scenario an operator uses and monitors a range of equipment which provides essential fluids for process support. These fluids may be used for instrumentation, cooling, stabilising, scrubbing and hazard reduction, fire suppression and other uses.
The operator would:
identify and report operational problems
be aware of and contribute to a safe working environment
contribute to the safe production of utility and support fluids
operate, monitor and maintain equipment following relevant procedures.
Generally the operator would be part of a team during start up and shut down procedures and would be expected to be capable of demonstrating competence in all parts of this unit for the services relevant to their plant. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
This unit does not require the operation of a central control panel.
This unit does not cover the generation of steam using a fired boiler - see
UTPNEG162A Operate and monitor boiler steam/water cycle
nor the use of these services as part of operating a process plant - see
PMAOPS204B Use utilities and services
This unit covers the generation, provision or 'making' of services for use by a plant. While this generally would apply to a remote or off shore plant, it may also be appropriate for other plants.
