Description
This unit of competency covers the coordination of the shutdown and re-starting of a glass production or processing plant in a safe and efficient manner due to a planned or an unplanned shutdown or emergency situation. It does not apply to individual plant operators shutting down individual production units or following directions during a shutdown and would typically be exercised by the leading plant technician on a shift. This unit requires the exercise of discretion as the plant technician's responses are governed by the cause of the shutdown and the plant's responses to that. It requires the coordination of all personnel involved in the shutdown to ensure it happens in as orderly a fashion as possible and that the plant is left in the best condition possible for a quick re-start. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
