This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to clean industrial machinery. This is usually performed on a planned or rostered basis with the machinery being taken out of operation for cleaning.
The unit requires the ability to assess the extent of the cleaning task through knowledge of the characteristics of surfaces and types of surface soiling. It also requires understanding of client requirements and the ability to apply company policies and procedures in order to perform the task. Selecting the appropriate equipment, chemicals and cleaning methods is essential to performing the task safely and efficiently.
Machinery cleaning usually occurs in industrial, food manufacturing and processing or mining environments. Cleaners are not usually involved in the routine cleaning of operational machinery for safety and production reasons.
This unit of competency supports employees without managerial or supervisory responsibilities. The work may be performed in teams or individually.
