Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to shut down power generation systems in both planned and unplanned situations and to communicate shutdown information and data to internal and external personnel.The unit applies to production operators and technicians who coordinate power generation system shutdowns, in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Where the turbine equipment falls under the category for which a High Risk Work Licence is required, this unit should not be used and the appropriate unit should be sought.
