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 operated a low grade fugal station in line with workplace contexts and demonstrated each of the following points at least once:

  • confirmed availability of equipment, services and massecuite to meet production requirements
  • selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • conducted pre-start checks and followed start-up procedure
  • started up and operated in both automatic and manual modes
  • safely operated, monitored and adjusted the process and equipment from the re-heater to the magma pump and molasses cooler within required parameters
  • controlled station throughput to meet factory flows
