Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Identify and diagnose causes of faults |
1.1. Causes of faults are identified and diagnosed within Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and housekeeping requirements 1.2. Abnormal plant conditions and system alarms are interpreted to determine fault type and location 1.3. Physical inspections of plant and processes are made to identify faults 1.4. Cause and source of fault is identified and located 1.5. Relevant historical data is accessed/referred to, to confirm diagnosis 1.6. Diagnoses are communicated to relevant personnel |
2. Rectify faults |
2.1. Faults are rectified within OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP, and housekeeping requirements 2.2. Shutdown and isolation procedures are implemented as required 2.3. Faulty equipment is repaired or replaced 2.4. Adjustments to process and systems are made to restore normal operations 2.5. Restoration to normal operation is verified and communicated to relevant personnel |
3. Rectify power quality and distribution faults |
3.1. Power quality and distribution faults are rectified within OHS, SOP, environmental and safe working requirements and practices 3.2. Power quality faults/variations are identified by observation, systematic sampling and testing 3.3. Measurements are taken and tests conducted according to established enterprise procedures and SOP 3.4. Power quality is adjusted whilst generator is on-line to correct variations from specification |
4. Record and report operational data |
4.1. Operational data is recorded and reported within OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP, and housekeeping requirements 4.2. Variations from required production output and systems operation faults are documented 4.3. Troubleshooting process and corrective actions are recorded 4.4. Relevant information is communicated to appropriate personnel |

Overview of assessment |
|
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Evidence should be relevant to the work. It should satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include consideration of:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
A workplace assessment must be used to assess:
Access to the full range of equipment involved in integrated continuous manufacturing for power generation systems in a pulp or paper mill is required |
Method of assessment |
A combination of assessment methods should be used. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and in keeping with the language and literacy capacity of the learner and the work being performed. This includes conducting an assessment in a manner that allows thoughts to be conveyed verbally so that the learner can both understand and be understood by the assessor (e.g. use plain English and terminology used on the job) A holistic assessment with other units relevant to the pulp and paper industry, mill and job role is recommended Additional information on approaches to assessment for the pulp and paper industry is provided in the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package |
