Manage resource requirements to achieve condition monitoring objectives
URN: ECICM02
Business Sectors (Suites): Condition Monitoring
Developed by: SDS
Approved on:
01 Dec 2013
Overview
This standard is about managing the resource requirements by assessing and recording supply schedules to achieve the condition monitoring objectives.
You will need to be able to assess and record the resource requirements to meet the condition monitoring objectives and specify supply schedules whilst adhering to health and safety legislation, regulations and safe working practices.
In the context of this standard, your responsibility is to interpret and work within given specifications, selecting techniques and making variations to achieve the best possible result. In some cases, you may still be expected to refer to others for final authorisation, even though you remain responsible for identifying and implementing decisions.
Who this standard is for
This standard is for condition monitoring supervisors, maintenance engineers and planners.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
You must be able to:
P1 work safely at all times, complying with health and safety and other relevant legislation, regulations, guidelines and local rules or procedure
P2 ensure that the work environment, material, tools and condition monitoring equipment and instrumentation are suitably prepared for the work activities to be undertaken
P3 assess the monitoring activities to determine the condition monitoring resources required
P4 verify that the monitoring equipment is suitable for use in the monitoring area atmosphere, on an on-going basis
P5 specify supply schedules to meet work requirements
P6 obtain the required information and documentation/permits
P7 advise appropriate people of resource requirements
P8 reinstate the work area
P9 deal promptly and effectively with problems within your control and report those that cannot be solved
