Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate, inspect and monitor fixed fire protection systems.Fixed fire protection systems are engineered sets of components that work together to detect fires, alert occupants and extinguish fires. Fixed fire protection systems use a combination of dry chemicals and wet agents to suppress fires.Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan work, operate fixed fire protection system plant, test fixed fire protection system plant, analyse fixed fire protection system plant faults, monitor and inspect fixed fire protection system plant and the completion of all documentation. Individuals will, in general, work under supervision, in a power generating facility as a fire systems operator. Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements. | ||
