Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to contribute to the design of commercial and industrial exhaust systems, including industrial dust extraction systems or to undertake the complete design for less complex systems. Commercial and industrial exhaust systems include those designed to manage dust, fumes, explosive gases or noxious gases. The unit applies to technicians in organisations that design whole commercial and industrial exhaust systems or undertake design modifications to existing systems as part of manufacturing, installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance activities. It applies to design work undertaken as part of a design team comprising engineers and other technicians and to individual design tasks within the scope of the technician’s skill and knowledge. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
