URN: COGPEM40
Business Sectors (Suites): Process Engineering Maintenance
Developed by: Cogent
Approved on:
27 Mar 2018
Overview
This standard is about your competence in establishing and deviation from the required tolerances and what action has to be taken to bring the component back into service. You will be following your organisation's safe working practices and working within the work permit procedures.
This standard deals with the following:
1 Determine the feasibility of repair of components from mechanical plant and equipment
During this work you must take account of the relevant worksite operational requirements, procedures and safe working practices AS THEY APPLY TO YOU.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 work safely at all times, complying with health and safety and other relevant regulations and guidelines
P2 follow the relevant specifications for the component to be repaired
P3 assess the amount and level of wear or damage to the component and determine what work is required to bring the component back to the specified condition
P4 report on findings and conclusions on the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of repairs
Knowledge and Understanding
You need to know and understand:
K1 you must have a working knowledge and understanding of what your responsibilities are in respect of Health, Safety and Environment. This should include the limits of your personal responsibility, your legal responsibility for your own health and safety and the health and safety of others
K2 you must have a working knowledge of the relevant regulations and the safe working practices and procedures required within your work area
K3 you must have a working knowledge and understanding of the engineering specifications to which you will be expected to work. This could be expected to include product worksheets, method statements, manufacturers' data sheets, maintenance schedules, and technical drawings (components, assembly, general arrangement, isometrics)
K4 you must have a working knowledge and understanding of assessing the conditions of components for re-use. This could be expected to include mechanical integrity
K5 you must have a working knowledge and understanding of determining the feasibility and viability of repairs. This could be expected to include mechanical integrity
K6 you must have a working knowledge and understanding of component replacement methods and techniques. This could be expected to include manufacturers' data, and sources of information
K7 you must have a working knowledge and understanding of your responsibilities with regard to the reporting lines and procedures in your working environment
Scope/range
Scope Performance
1 The level and extent of responsibility will involve you being responsible for ensuring the equipment and work site is safe for others or yourself to work on by following defined procedures. You will be accountable for the integrity of the work site and ensuring the work is recorded in a formal manner. Authorisation for proceeding with the work will be given by authorised signatories within the PTW system
2 The type of components to be repaired may be robust or fragile. Robust components are those which are resistant to most forms of damage or disruption during their working lives. Fragile components are those which are easily disrupted or damaged. Damage or disruption could be due to physical, chemical or other forces (e.g. Electro-magnetic). Typical robust components could be:
2.1 Components of power/lighting transmission
2.2 Motors/components of motors
2.3 Components of electrical back-up systems
2.4 Heat exchangers
2.5 Components of process control systems
Typical fragile components could be:
2.6 Components of electrical circuit protectors
2.7 Electrical metering devices
2.8 Circuit boards
2.9 Safety/protection devices
2.10 Components of electrical panels
3 The type of repair to be made requires one or more techniques to be applied depending upon its complexity. The techniques are standard within the sector but may require some modification to achieve the required result. The techniques may relate to one or more technologies depending upon the complexity of the repair. Typical repair techniques could include:
3.1 Re-aligning
3.2 Re-shaping by material removal
3.3 Re/soldering
3.4 Bonding
3.5 Replacing
4 The nature of repairs to be carried out may be simple or complex. Simple repairs are those which can be easily achieved using tools and techniques generally available and/or for which clearly defined procedures exist and/or where the repair site is easily accessed.
Complex repairs are those which can only be achieved using tools and techniques which have been specially modified in some way to achieve the repair and/or where no pre-defined procedures exist for effecting repair and/or where the repair site is difficult to access.
5 The quality standards and accuracy to be achieved are as set down in the work specifications.
Scope Knowledge
The Knowledge and Understanding levels expressed indicate the minimum level of knowledge and understanding sufficient to perform your role in a manner that would normally be associated with the minimum acceptable performance of a competent person undertaking your role.
The expression ”working knowledge and understanding” indicates you are able to:
1 Identify and apply relevant information, procedures and practices to your usual role in your expected working environments needing only occasional recourse to reference materials
2 Describe, in your own words, the principles underlying your working methods. This does not mean the ability to quote “Chapter and verse”. Rather you must know what supporting information is available, how and where to find it and from whom to seek further guidance and information confirm any additional required detail
3 Interpret and apply the information obtained to your role, your working practice and in your expected working environment
