The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. |
Codes of practice/ standards | Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used. |
Appropriate action | Appropriate action includes: determining problems needing action determining possible fault causes rectifying problem using appropriate solution within area of responsibility following through items initiated until final resolution has occurred reporting problems outside area of responsibility to designated person. |
Emergency responses | Emergency responses include those related to: evacuation due to fire loss of power excessive emissions of fumes or particulate major oil spill equipment failure |
Equipment and tools | Equipment and tools may include: hand tools harnesses and slings materials handling equipment. |
Hazards | Hazards may include: heat (burns, dehydration and heat stress) energy sources, eg hydraulic, pneumatic and electric high pressure piping and valves pinch and crush points moisture banned items mobile equipment and pedestrian interaction suspended loads and roller conveyors hazardous materials, eg heat transfer fluid (HTF), tar and pitch, coal tar pitch volatiles (CTPV). |
Hazard control measures | Hazard control measures should follow the hierarchy of control, be specific to the hazard and work area and include relevant Personal Protective Equipment. |
Housekeeping | Housekeeping procedure may include cleaning the area, removal of contaminants, safety inspections and rectification of issues that could compromise safety. |
Instrument/electrical systems | Instrument/electrical systems may include: emergency shutdown systems fire systems pressure and temperature control systems communications systems utility systems. |
Isolation | Isolation refers to the complete isolation of the equipment from all sources of power or energy or isolate process flows and movement of machinery such to render it safe to work on as per site procedure. |
Monitoring systems | Monitoring systems in the carbon anode forming process may include: monitoring bearing lubrication monitoring pre-heat distribution of the anode monitoring moisture content of the anode monitoring strainers on the anode cooling system monitoring the cooling tower monitoring anode forming mobile equipment condition checks on pitch pump, paste mixer and cleaning discharge for irregularities monitoring paste build-up on scale doors, cover weight and mould seals vacuum former failure monitoring abnormal trends in the operation of equipment or product specification screens, samplers, grates, grids, fume scrubbers, weight feeders, and dust collection systems. |
Monitor and adjust operational variations | Monitor and adjust operational variations using troubleshooting techniques may refer to the use of: historical data and records of common faults troubleshooting lists and directives site procedures. |
Procedures | Procedures may be written, verbal, computer-based or in some other form. They include: all work instructions standard operating procedures formulas/recipes batch sheets temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant. For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (eg Responsible Care) and government regulations. |
Out-of-parameter issues | Out-of-parameter issues, faults and problems may include: out-of-parameter operation or product fluctuation in temperature, power consumption or product movement. vibe plate distribution and cleaning inspections on the compaction station blocked strainers on the anode cooling system paste belt irregularities anode cooling system not operating properly. jam-ups on power and free conveyors instruments and equipment requiring cleaning equipment mechanical and electrical problems flow path blockages out-of-parameter emissions unavailability of equipment, personnel or material. |
Personal protective equipment | Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements relate to the specified PPE for the task or job to be undertaken. PPE may include specific insulated boots, heat resistant material, full-ventilated suits, full-face masks or situation specific equipment. |
Pre-start checks | Pre-start checks relate to the required site or equipment pre-start checklist and must be completed before the equipment is operated or as otherwise stated in the procedures. |
Reports | Reports and records may include: routine inspections (daily readings, monthly checks) scheduled maintenance activities computer readouts locally or in the control room shift log sheet mandatory or statutory inspections hazard, accident and incident reports quality inspection reports of the product. |
Shutdown procedures | Shut down procedure must follow equipment and site authorised checklist and may include: communication to supply and delivery areas communication to impacting areas obtaining appropriate authorisations rescheduling operations liaison with maintenance teams. |
Start-up procedures | Start-up procedure will conform to site procedure and include: safety and pre-start checks accessing shift logs and equipment records pre-shift briefing information records and reports from the previous shift. |
Work requirements | Work requirements includes shift briefings, shift logs supervisor or crew leader meetings, toolbox talks and handover details. |
Health, safety and environment (HSE) | All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment requirements, which may be imposed through State or Federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between Performance Criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence. Persons are required to have skills in hazard identification, assessment and application of control measures, eg spills and leaks identified, contained and cleaned up. Exposure to hazardous materials requires minimal personal contact, recognition of hazards and appropriate controls. |
