Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to monitor plant and equipment in an environmentally sustainable manner. It includes minimising the effects of pollution during operations and monitoring of plant and equipment; and transporting and handling environmentally hazardous materials safely and in accordance with environmental protection regulations and guidelines. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Minimise the effects of pollution during operations
- 1.1 Precautions are taken to ensure spilt fuel, lubricants and chemicals do not pollute the environment
- 1.2 Plant and equipment are operated efficiently to minimise pollution of the air environment through excessive exhaust emissions
- 1.3 Running of plant and equipment is minimised to avoid unnecessary noise and air pollution
- 1.4 Worksites are kept clean and tidy during work operations and the disposal of waste is in accordance with environmental regulations and workplace procedures
2Minimise the effects of pollution during monitoring of plant and equipment
- 2.1 Routine checks are conducted or organised to ensure plant and equipment are operating correctly including emission controls if fitted
- 2.2 Suitable precautions are taken during the cleaning of plant and equipment not to pollute the environment
- 2.3 Care is taken during services and maintenance operations to implement housekeeping procedures and environmental protection precautions and procedures
- 2.4 Rubbish is deposited in designated rubbish disposal bins
3Transport/handle environmentally hazardous materials safely
- 3.1 Relevant documentation is completed in accordance with government regulations and workplace requirements
- 3.2 Waste and effluent is disposed of in accordance with government regulations and workplace procedures
- 3.3 Environmentally hazardous materials are handled and moved in accordance with relevant regulations, workplace procedures and guidelines aimed at minimising the risk of environmental pollution
- 3.4 Where required routes for plant and equipment carrying hazardous and noxious loads are planned to minimise the risk to the environment in the event of accident or spillage
