It also includes the planning to prepare for the plant’s return to service. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to a person who has the responsibility for planning to isolate and prepare plant. This is probably part of their work role, although it could be a full time secondment for a major shutdown. The type of people to whom this unit may apply include (but are not limited to):operators and maintainerssupervisorsmaintenance plannersmaintenance personnelauthorised permit issuers, coordinators or similar.While this unit is written to apply to an individual they will rarely if ever complete this competency as a lone individual and will usually do so in liaison with relevant experts and stakeholders.This unit applies:after the work scope has been agreedbefore the isolation and preparation commences.This unit has a strong relationship with the relevant ‘permit’ units (e.g. MSAPMPER300C Issue work permits) as well as HAZOP (e.g. PMASUP445A Participate in HAZOP studies) and decommissioning/recommissioning units (e.g. PMASUP440B Commission/recommission plant and PMASUP441C Decommission plant). Where relevant, these units should also be accessed.This unit requires a detailed knowledge of the plant to be prepared and isolated, such as might be obtained from the relevant technical units covering this plant. Hands-on operating competency, however, is not necessarily required.This unit does not include the actual isolation and preparation of plant – see PMASUP244A Prepare and isolate plant.This unit has been written with the preparation and isolation of hazardous plant, such as a major hazard facility in mind. However, it should also be applicable to the preparation and isolation of lower hazard plants and mobile plant with appropriate contextualisation.Much of this unit is iterative and the text below should not be taken as specifying necessary sequence. | ||
