PROGRO06 Set up and operate glass processing equipment
Overview
This standard is based on the National Occupational Standards units which involve the setting up and operation of glass processing related equipment. The candidate uses the equipment to undertake production activities. The candidate is expected to be able to prepare the equipment for operation. The candidate has to monitor the equipment during operation and identify any indications of malfunction or poor performance. In addition, the candidate has to maintain the equipment, at least in the sense of keeping the equipment clean and clear from obstructions. It is not expected that the candidate will have to undertake routine or emergency maintenance of the kind carried out by maintenance engineers.
This standard is for you if work in glass processing and have to, as part of your role, set up and use processing equipment.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
1 obtain and confirm the health and safety regulations and procedures that apply to the operation of equipment
2 identify information and documents are required to set up and operate equipment
3 communicate to the required people the type of operation to be to be carried out
4 collect information on three significant pieces of glass processing equipment and state the operations they each carry out
5 locate appropriate standard operating procedures (SOPs)
6 record information on preparation of equipment in information systems in line with SOPs and regulatory requirements
7 confirm health and safety requirements and procedures for monitoring operations in line with regulatory and legislative requirements
8 monitor operation of equipment in line with SOPs
9 identify indications of poor performance of the equipment
10 identify SOPs to be followed and follow these during the set up of the equipment
11 record information on the monitoring of equipment in line with organisational requirements
12 confirm appropriate health and safety requirements and procedures for maintaining the operation of equipment
13 identify SOPs applicable to maintaining the operation of equipment
14 identify routine maintenance requirements to ensure operation of the equipment in line with manufacturer specifications and organisational requirements
15 produce a report identifying typical problems and difficulties that need to be communicated to the appropriate persons in line with organisational requirements
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand:
1 why it is necessary for individuals to receive training before preparing or operating equipment
2 what the products of the organisation are
3 what equipment is available for different requirements
4 consequences of not starting up and shutting down equipment according to SOPs
5 problems that can arise when using particular equipment
6 standard operating procedures for dealing with problems
7 why it is important to use information systems that are in place and describe what might happen if they were not used
8 hazards that may be encountered and the risk assessments associated with the operations
9 health and safety procedures to be adopted whilst monitoring the operation of equipment in line with SOPs and regulatory requirements
10 what control equipment is necessary for the monitoring operations to be carried out
11 different monitoring methods that are used and if there are any alarm systems in place
12 explain indications that the equipment is not functioning in line with manufacturer’s specifications and organisational requirements
13 why the equipment should be kept free of debris and other foreign bodies
14 SOPs for monitoring the equipment
15 what records need to be maintained on the monitoring of equipment and why this is important
16 products and or materials manufactured or processed using the equipment
17 functions of the different parts of the equipment that are being monitored
18 how waste products or materials are recycled or disposed of in line with SOPs and regulatory requirements
19 describe typical indications that operational capability has degraded
20 routine housekeeping activities that are required in line with SOPs
21 limits of responsibility for maintenance operations and when it is necessary to call in specialist maintenance personnel
22 usual range of problems and difficulties that can occur and how to deal with them in line with SOPs and regulations
23 what typical emergency situations can arise and what action is necessary according to SOPs and regulatory requirements
24 what emergency start up and shut down procedures may be required according to SOPs
25 what to do in case of a power cut
26 actions that should be taken to correct different operating problems
27 why it is important to record maintenance operations and explain what typical systems are used
28 who needs to know about any problems and difficulties experienced with the maintenance of operations and why it is necessary for them to have this information
Relevant occupations
glass and ceramics maker decorator finisher; glass and ceramics process operatives; glaziers window fabric and fitters; tyre exhaust and windscreen fitters
