Setting to work and testing marine pantry and galley equipment and services

This standard identifies the competencies you need to set to work and test marine pantry and galley equipment and services, in accordance with approved procedures.  You will be required to use appropriate drawings, specifications and test documentation to set up and test the various types of equipment.  You will be expected to select the appropriate tools and equipment to use, based on the operations to be performed.  The marine pantry and galley equipment and services to be set to work and tested will include items such as dishwashers, potato peelers, roll and bun dividers, proving ovens, steam ovens, electric ovens, deep fat fryers, mixing machines, slicers, tenderisers, servery counters, salad bars, ready-use refrigeration, ice-cream makers, salt and fresh water supplies and other associated equipment.  You will be required to carry out formal setting to work and testing, sometimes under in-service conditions, meeting a range of operational criteria to establish that the units on test are functioning at optimal level and to specification.

Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for the setting-up and testing activities undertaken and to report any problems with these activities, or with the tools and equipment used that you cannot personally resolve, or are outside your permitted authority, to the relevant people.  You will be expected to work with a minimum of supervision, taking personal responsibility for your own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that you carry out.* *     

Your underpinning knowledge will provide a sound understanding of your work and will provide an informed approach to applying appropriate setting-up and testing procedures to marine pantry and galley equipment and services.  You will understand the equipment and services being worked on, any test equipment to be used and the various testing procedures, in adequate depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities, correcting faults and ensuring that the equipment functions to the required specification.  In addition, you will be expected to review the outcomes of the tests, to compare the results with appropriate standards, to determine the action required and to record and report the results in the appropriate format.  

You will understand the safety precautions required when carrying out the setting to work and testing of marine pantry and galley equipment, especially those relating hygiene and conditions of cleanliness and for taking the necessary safeguards to protect yourself and others against injury.  You will be required to demonstrate safe working practices throughout and will understand the responsibility you owe to yourself and others in the workplace, both in harbour and at sea.
