Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to design noise and vibration mitigation systems for product, plant and equipment across all forms of manufacturing and engineering, to ensure satisfactory operation, safety and comfort of people using, or in the proximity of the product, plant and equipment.Design activities can be reverse engineering, design rectification or modifications of an existing design. This unit includes the selection and use of appropriate measuring and monitoring equipment, modelling and calculations, and the incorporation of noise and vibration mitigation techniques into designs.The client may be internal or external to the designer’s organisation.This unit applies to individuals working as a Principal Technical Officer or in an equivalent engineering-related position who are required to design for engineering related noise and vibration mitigation.This unit does not cover structural or civil engineering-related noise mitigation techniques such as the design of noise barriers and anechoic chambers. Individuals completing this work either already have or are developing skills and experience in scientific principles, mathematics, measurement and evaluation of noise and vibration, computer software and file handling.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Clarify the design brief and specifications for noise and vibration mitigation
  • 1.1 Establish features of product, plant or equipment design specification likely to generate noise and vibration
  • 1.2 Confirm technical, commercial and environmental parameters of the brief or contract
  • 1.3 Determine stakeholders to be consulted in design process
  • 1.4 Assess work health and safety (WHS), regulatory, sustainability or environmental regulations and issues relevant to noise and vibration mitigation design task
  • 1.5 Confirm design brief, including budget and schedule, and provide preliminary advice on feasibility
2. Evaluate design analysis and prepare concept proposals
  • 2.1 Appraise initial qualitative and quantitative analysis of the design task using appropriate equipment and techniques
  • 2.2 Carry out required modelling and calculations using appropriate software and validation techniques
  • 2.3 Generate noise and vibration mitigation solutions that respond to the design brief
  • 2.4 Check feasibility and evaluate solutions against design criteria, ensuring conformity to standards and codes, technical, economic and WHS requirements
  • 2.5 Determine social and sustainability implications of solutions
  • 2.6 Present concept proposals to client
3. Design for noise and vibration mitigation
  • 3.1 Evaluate concept proposals with client and select preferred solution
  • 3.2 Ensure that design solution is optimised with respect to the noise and vibration mitigation design task
  • 3.3 Finalise noise and vibration mitigation design and ensure preparation of all required documentation, drawings, specifications and instructions
  • 3.4 Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design
  • 3.5 Monitor installation and commissioning with stakeholders and make any necessary adjustments to design
