This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify and analyse risks in the loss of power generation and production plant.

Risk analysis identifies dangers posed by potential natural or human caused adverse events. Once risks have been identified, they must be assessed as to potential impact and the probability of occurrence. 

Competency in this unit requires the ability to identify risks; conduct analysis; produce, implement and monitor recommendations; and complete documentation. Individuals will, in general, work under supervision, in a power generation facility as an operator.

Power generation plant operators are trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
