Dismantle components of steel structure fabrications to meet specification
Overview
This standard is about the dismantling of steel structure fabrications in engineering construction.
You will need to be able to ensure that the systems are in a safe condition for work activities before removing. Once removed you must be able to check the condition of the components, identify and record, where required, those that will require replacing whilst adhering to adhere to health, safety and environmental 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 as needed to achieve the best possible result. In some cases, you may still be required to refer to others for final authorisation, even though you remain responsible for identifying and implementing decisions.
This standard is for
This standard is for Platers.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
Knowledge and Understanding
You need to know and understand:
- relevant
legislative, regulatory and local requirements or procedures and safe working
practices including your responsibilities with regards to reporting lines and
procedures - preparation and reinstatement requirements in respect of
the work area, components removed, material, and equipment, and the possible
consequences of incorrect actions in these areas - relevant engineering drawings, related specifications and
quality standards - how to ensure any stored
energy or substances are controlled and discharged safely in accordance with
health, safety and environmental requirements methods
and techniques for dismantling steel structure fabrications including:- how to ensure relevant engineering support systems are put in place
- component removal and dismantling
how to check the
condition of the removed pipework found and what to do if defects are found- how
to label and store steel structure fabrications components for reuse - techniques for foreign material exclusion and the
importance of this - the correct disposal of waste, redundant and obsolete
equipment - reporting documentation and control procedures
- tool and equipment control: the correct use of
relevant tools and equipment and your individual responsibility for the use,
care and security of those you use
