Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include the ability to:

lead and coordinate shutdown team to ensure safe and efficient plant shutdown and preparation according to procedures without incident

record and report all aspects of shutdown activities to stakeholders according to enterprise protocol

communicate and negotiate effectively with technical (process) experts, maintenance experts, contractor representatives, production management and other stakeholders to obtain the best outcome for the shutdown from competing priorities

determine resource requirements, including:

utility services, such as steam, nitrogen, power, water and chemicals

workforce, such as operators, maintenance, contractors, engineers, laboratory staff, safety observer and standby rescue crew

mobile equipment, such as elevated work platforms, Hiab, vacuum trucks and drip trays

other equipment, such as hoses, plugs and caps, scaffold and extra fire protection equipment.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

interpretation of project planning tools being used

a comprehensive knowledge of plant shutdown events and their impact on upstream and downstream interfaces

plant/equipment/processes impacted by the shutdown

safe working practices related to the type of plant and equipment being shut down and worked on

correct methods of shutting down plant items

organisation procedures.

Range Statement

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.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following:

legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS)

industry codes of practice and guidelines

environmental regulations and guidelines

Australian and other standards

licence and certification requirements

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory 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.

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, include one or more of the following:

emergency procedures

work instructions

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

safe work method statements (SWMS)

formulas/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions

any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant

Scheduling

Scheduling may be electronic or paper-based and include at least one more of the following:

electronic databases, such as Access, DB, and Oracle

project management software (e.g. Project, Gantt charts, critical path method (CPM) and programmed evaluation and review technique (PERT))

other electronic forms, such as spreadsheets

card files

other paper-based systems

other specialised planning software

paper techniques
