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: leak/loss of containment evacuation due to fire or open cell circuit 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 electro magnetic effects 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 chlorine molten materials. |
Hazard control methods | 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 spray station area may include: monitoring the operation of anode spray station equipment monitoring the effectiveness of the process ensuring molten aluminium is delivered as required monitoring conveyors monitoring abnormal trends in the operation of equipment or product specification. |
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. |
Out-of-parameter issues | Out-of-parameter issues, faults and problems may include: delivery of molten metal from reduction cells to clean crucible pipe failures, eg cracks, blockages venturi and siphon system failure siphoning suction equipment failure out-of-parameter operation or product fluctuation in temperature, power consumption or product movement 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. |
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. |
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. |
Reports and records | Reports and records may include: routine inspections (daily readings, monthly checks) scheduled maintenance activities shift log sheet mandatory or statutory inspections hazard, accident and incident reports quality inspection reports of the product. |
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. |
