Performance Evidence

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

There must be evidence that the individual has received and loaded out bulk liquid product or raw materials on at least one occasion, including:

accessing workplace information relating to materials transfer requirements

selecting, fitting and using personal protection equipment

inspecting equipment for signs of wear, including visual inspections to detect leaks, listening for unusual noises and/or vibrations in pumps, and checking gauges and meters

using workplace records and systems to confirm tank holdings and capacities and determining appropriate source/destination holding facilities, including verifying by physically inspecting storage facilities and checking materials/product compatibility

planning and sequencing transfer process to meet storage capacity and production requirements

preparing equipment for materials transfer, including confirming that equipment is clean, lines are purged, isolation or lock-outs are cancelled as required, any scheduled maintenance has been completed, and safety guards/equipment are correctly positioned

carrying out procedures to confirm liquid bulk product/materials meet quality requirements

operating and monitoring transfer process to confirm that correct quantities are transferred at the required times, to the required locations, including monitoring pump loads and flow rates, and filter/strainer condition

responding to and/or reporting equipment failure within level of responsibility

locating emergency stop functions on equipment

completing transfer operations, including purging lines and selecting appropriate equipment/system settings

completing records of product/materials transfer as required

maintaining work area to meet housekeeping standards

using process control and scheduling systems, screens and panels according to enterprise procedures

following relevant work health and safety procedures.

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:

bulk liquid materials storage facilities layout and related management systems

basic operating principles of the system and equipment used, including the features of the bulk liquid handling system

equipment used, including sensors, valves, pumps, pipework and other related equipment that controls the flow and transfer of bulk liquid materials, equipment operating capacity and the status and purpose of guards

planning and scheduling systems and responsibilities to prioritise materials transfer processes, including characteristics of materials received and related storage requirements, production requirements and storage capacities

signs and symptoms of faulty equipment and early warning signs of potential problems

operating parameters and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters

work health and safety hazards and controls, including emergency procedures to respond to hazardous situations

product inspection procedures within level of responsibility

clearance procedures, including relevant test methods and action required if results are not within specification or clearance is not provided

contamination risks and controls, including cross-contamination risks, product compatibility and storage requirements

isolation, lock-out and tag-out procedures and responsibilities

environmental issues associated with bulk liquid materials transfer, including consequences of spills and appropriate control/containment procedures

recording requirements and procedures for the bulk liquid transfer process

basic operating principles of process control, where relevant, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment

workplace cleaning procedures required for the bulk liquid transfer process.
