Description
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
No information
This unit covers a refractory design for a situation which can be achieved by the application of standard products/components in a standard manner. It does not cover innovative products/applications nor those situations where the design must be done by a registered engineer, although it may involve working with an engineer on a design.
OHS
All operations are subject to stringent OHS requirements and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and OHS requirements, the OHS requirements take precedence.

Assessment context and methods
Assessment for this unit of competency will be on appropriate exercises. The unit will be assessed in as holistic a manner as is practical and may be integrated with the assessment of other relevant units of competency. Assessment will occur over a range of situations, materials and applications.
Simulation or case study/scenarios may be required to allow for timely assessment of parts of this competency unit. Simulation should be based on situations as close to real as possible, and will include 'walk-throughs' of the relevant competency components. Simulations may also include the use of case studies/scenarios and role plays.
Resource implications
Assessment will require access to simple heat flow software for some period of time, or a suitable method of gathering evidence of operating ability over a range of situations. A bank of scenarios/case studies/what ifs will be required as will a bank of questions which will be used to probe the reasoning behind the observable actions.
Other assessment advice
It may be appropriate to assess this unit concurrently with relevant teamwork and communication units.
It may be appropriate to assess this unit concurrently with:
PMAOHS100B Follow OHS procedures.
