This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to install and commission gas detection systems and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) systems with an operating pressure not exceeding 3.0 kPa in marine craft.
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
*installing, testing and commissioning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and gas-detection systems including installing pipework, connecting a type A gas appliance in a marine craft, including determining the gas load, storage capacity and ventilation requirements.
Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*pipe size and ventilation requirements
*installation requirements for ventilation, appliances, LPG cylinder, regulators and piping
*how to access relevant information, including relevant Job plans and specifications, codes, Australian standards, manufacturer’s specifications and jurisdictional requirements
*properties of gas, gas safety, combustion principles, gas pressures and detection systems
*tools, materials and equipment used for the installation and commissioning of gas detection systems and LPG systems in marine craft
*work health and safety (WHS) requirements for the installation and commissioning of gas detection systems and LPG systems in marine craft.
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by Victoria University and/or via the Victoria University e-learning system.
