Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to PMBPROD241C Lay up rubber lining or lag pulleys
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to lay up rubber or similar materials to line vessels or components or to lag pulleys. Vessels and tanks are typically lined in order to retard abrasion, impact or corrosion. The re-lagging of pulleys for conveyors provides a positive drive.
This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to prepare materials and surfaces, plan and sequence the work, position, join and cure the lining/lagging and recognise routine and non-routine problems and take appropriate action.
The key factors are the preparation of the surfaces to be lined/lagged and the successful application of the rubber to the surfaces without contaminating the materials. This unit of competency is typically performed by operators working either independently or as part of a work team.
This unit of competency applies to lining/lagging that is carried out in a workshop or other off-site facility.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Foundation Skills
This section describes those required skills (language, literacy and numeracy) that are essential to performance.
Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.
Range of Conditions
This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. |
|
Regulatory framework |
The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used. Applicable legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice include:
All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and such requirements the legislative requirements take precedence. |
Procedures |
All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures. Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or any combination of:
|
Tools and equipment |
Tools and equipment include one or more of:
|
Hazards |
Hazards must be identified and controlled. Identifying hazards requires consideration of:
|
Routine problems |
Routine problems must be resolved by applying known solutions. Routine problems are predictable and include one or more of:
Known solutions are drawn from one or more of:
Non-routine problems must be reported according to according to relevant procedures. |
