Range Statement
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.ContextThis competency applies to all work environments and sectors within the industry. It does not include maintenance that would require trade level skills. It is not intended that this competency would cover maintenance that is carried on in a workshop. ProceduresAll operations are performed in accordance with procedures.Procedures mean all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions, standard operating procedures, plant description manuals, manufacturer's instructions, specifications, service manuals, machine circuit diagrams for hydraulic/pneumatic and electrical/electronic circuits and relevant industry and government codes and standards.Tools and equipmentThis competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:hand tools specific for the task product testing equipment (eg flowmeter, scales, tape measure, micrometer, caliper, ultrasonic thickness)machinery measuring equipment (eg vibration meter, tachometer, current tester, thermal imaging, temperature gauge)measuring and aligning equipment.HazardsTypical hazards include:rotating and moving machineryprocess materials, solids, fluids and gases under pressure or flowingtemporary connections or by-passeselectrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy sourcesout-of-specification operation.ProblemsRespond to/rectify 'non-routine problems' means 'apply known solutions to a variety of predictable problems'. Typical process and product problems may include:out-of-specification product or variationsresponse of equipment to materials variationsnew or changed materialschanged equipment settings (eg higher speed or throughput)equipment in need of maintenanceprocedures requiring update or modification.VariablesKey variables to be monitored include:equipment performance (eg speed, output, variations)equipment component performancesequences and timing of operationsmaterials changes (desired and not desired).Data and RecordsTypical information sources, observed data and plant records may include:plant data log sheetsoperational and performance reportsphysical aspects such as noise, smell, feel and pressure condition monitoring informationplanned maintenance schedulesprocedures.
