Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for work.
- Start up and shut down refrigeration system.
- Carry out pre-start up checks of all items of the system, including safety systems
- Start-up to procedures
- Monitor the start-up process and take action as required to ensure operating parameters are achieved
- Carry out general housekeeping of the system to procedures
- Shut down to procedures
- Perform emergency shut down of equipment (if required)
- Record and/or communicate relevant information (if required).
- Monitor and control refrigeration system.
- Complete routine checks, logs and paperwork, taking appropriate action on unexpected observations, readings and trends
- Recognise indications of actual or potential problems and take appropriate action to minimise the impact of problems on production time, safety, health and the environment
- Recognise conditions likely to give rise to brittle fracture and take appropriate action
- Identify critical exposure temperature (CET) and take appropriate action to minimise its impact
- Monitor critical variables throughout the system and take appropriate action to maintain system operation
- Make adjustments to maximise plant efficiency
- Predict the need to make a change to meet process requirements
- Make changes as required in a smooth and timely manner
- Predict and communicate the impact on other parts of the plant that are reliant on the refrigeration system.
- Isolate and de-isolate plant.
