Unit of Competency MEM13004 - Work safely with molten metals/glass
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to work safely in a heavy engineering environment in which there are molten metals or glass, for example, in foundries, die casting operations, glass or molten glass operations and explosives manufacture. Evidence of competency is to encompass the satisfactory application of any current state/territory work health and safety (WHS) legislation, standards and codes of practice, and the hierarchy of hazard control measures.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 2
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Hierarchy of control measures include the following:

The application of the hierarchy of control follows the six-step preference of control measures to manage and control risk:

1. elimination

2. substitution

3. isolation

4. engineering control measures

5. using safe work practices

6. personal protective equipment (PPE)

PPE includes one (1) or more of the following:

face protection

eye protection

respiratory protection

hearing protection

hand protection

clothing and footwear protection

Hazardous material includes one (1) or more of the following:

hot material

molten metals

molten glass and associated products

explosive materials

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.
