Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that, on at least one occasion, the individual has:

analysed work areas and equipment in grain enterprises for dust and fire risk

scheduled housekeeping, training and maintenance procedures to achieve objectives while minimising impact on production, including:

scheduling maintenance for dust suppression systems and equipment, and explosion relief panels

bin and silo inspections and cleaning

testing and maintenance of fire and explosion suppression systems

controlled potential ignition sources

assessed adequacy of dust control and dust explosion relief equipment

determined maintenance requirements

assessed automatic and manual monitoring techniques against enterprise needs

established procedures for reporting non-conformances

established emergency procedures

identified training needs of employees, including induction training.

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:

technologies and techniques for controlling grain dust in grain milling, handling and storage facilities, including:

pneumatic dust collection

housekeeping

enclosing of equipment

use of liquid additives

misting and fogging (where permitted)

advantages and disadvantages of mechanical and pneumatic product conveying

types of bin/silo and exhaust designs and implications for dust generation and control

requirements for a grain dust explosion to occur, including typical sources in a grain enterprise:

oxygen

ignition

fuel

contained space

effects of fungal and pest infestation on grain and flour temperature

minimum explosive concentrations (MEC) for grain dust in the milling or storage operation that will vary according to the type of grain and particle size

location of bin explosion relief panels

explosion suppression systems

confined space procedures and regulations.

Assessment Conditions

Assessment of skills must take place under the following conditions:

physical conditions:

a workplace or an environment that accurately represents workplace conditions

resources, equipment and materials:

personal protective equipment relevant to flour milling operations

grain storage facilities

sampling schedules and test procedures and equipment

cleaning procedures, materials and equipment

specifications:

work procedures, including advice on safe work practices, food safety, quality and environmental requirements

documentation and recording requirements and procedures.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
