Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine job requirements
  • Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • Identify job requirements from specifications, job sheets or work instructions
       
Element: Identify the process requirements for a refractory
  • Identify the pH of the metallurgical slags
  • Determine the insulating requirements from the refractory
  • Determine other process requirements from the refractory
  • Identify likely process causes of refractory failure
  • Specify refractory needs in terms of physical and chemical properties required
       
Element: Recommend type of refractory material
  • Select a refractory class suitable for the pH of the metallurgical slag
  • Shortlist refractory materials within that class suitable for the insulating and other process demands
  • Contrast the principal modes of failure for each short-listed refractory with the likely process causes of refractory failure
  • Recommend suitable refractory materials for the job
       
Element: Consider economic and technical implications of different modes of installation
  • Compare possible alternative refractory materials
  • Compare possible alternative installation methods
  • Consider alternative materials with different installation methods and their overall technical and economic performance
  • Recommend a refractory material and a method of installation which delivers the best economic and technical performance for the application
       

Submission Requirements

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.
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.
