Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit. There must be evidence that the individual has coordinated and implemented chemical recovery shutdowns, at least twice in line with required enterprise intervals, including:

  • assessed causes of unplanned shutdowns
  • identified and rectified faults in processes and plant, relevant to chemical recovery operations, during shutdowns
  • used and interpreted electronic control systems, including digital control system, touch screens or robotics to control equipment and processes as required during shutdowns
  • communicated effectively and work safely with others, in the work area, when undertaking chemical recovery shutdowns.

Knowledge Evidence

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:
