Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to coordinate and document the shutdown and restart of a glass production or processing plant in a safe and efficient manner. The shutdown may be a planned or an unplanned shutdown or emergency situation. This unit typically applies to the leading plant technician on a shift, who uses discretion and judgment to respond to the cause of the shutdown and coordinate all personnel involved in the shutdown to ensure it happens in an orderly a fashion and that the plant is left in the best condition possible for a quick restart. It does not apply to individual plant operators shutting down individual production units. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
