Plan control of operations
Critical aspects of evidence
Critical aspects of evidence will include: applying emergency response systems; knowledge of permit to work system including types of permits and limitations; use of emergency equipment including fire fighting equipment; monitoring of product and safe fill levels are in accordance with SOPs; transferring of product in accordance with SOPs; storage processing conditions of product
Context of assessment
Assessment of competency, including attainment of relevant knowledge and skills may be made through practical demonstration in an actual work environment or simulation of such an environment. Assessment may be carried out by day or night, in varied weather conditions, but must adhere to defined safety and regulatory guidelines.
Specialised resources required for training and assessment
Availability of suitably qualified industry assessors; system which facilitates recording of trainees' profiles and progress; facilities for workplace or simulated environment assessment
Pre-requisites and co-requisite
This unit should be assessed after competency has been demonstrated in Unit NGS 206 A Monitor and Control Transfer of LPG, Unit NGS 207 A Process LPG, Unit NGS 208 A Perform Minor Maintenance on Gas Processing/Storage Facilities and either Unit NGS 209 A Co-ordinate Repair of Faults in Gas Processing/Storage Facilities or Unit NGS 210 A Control Storage of LPG in Terminal and the following Frontline Management III Competency Standards:
Knowledge and Skills
The Evidence Guide is a set of guidelines which assist in the development of assessment instruments/tools to assess the competency of workers in the Gas Industry. This requires evidence of consistent achievement of the workplace outcomes covered by the unit.
An employee working at this level is required to understand and apply SOPs; understand the alarm and communications systems; adhere to OH&S and environmental legislative requirements including emergency procedures; demonstrate an awareness of the properties of LPG; monitor, identify and report any problems associated with the transfer processes and procedures; operate systems such as pumps, compressors and valving, shutdown systems; carry out inspection test procedures; communicate effectively; understand permit to work systems; operate gas analysis equipment
