DEISIS619 : Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shutdown

Systems

Nominal duration: 24 hours total time commitment

This time commitment includes the structured activities,

preparation reading, and attendance at each webinar, completing
exercises, practical assessments and proctored assessments.
MODULE DETAILS
It is also expected that students spend additional time on
readings, personal study, independent research and learning,
practicing on remote labs and required software and working on
any projects and assignments.

This module covers safety life cycle, risk reduction, safety targets,
and planning for effective system integration, documentation,
diagnostics and testing.

The purpose of the module is for participants to develop

introductory working knowledge of safety instrumentation and
MODULE PURPOSE
shutdown systems and be able to determine and oversee
procedures for plant safety.

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid,

sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered
through a variety of ways including direct observation,
supervisor's reports, project work, structured assessments,
samples and questioning. This will include short answer questions
on the knowledge content, the use of remote and virtual labs, and
writing tasks to apply the learning to academic tasks.

CONDITIONS OF ASSESSMENT

Assessor Requirements:

Assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the

standards for registered training organisation (RTOs) current at
the time of assessment.

Assessors must also hold a tertiary qualification in engineering or

related field.
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
The RTO must also ensure that trainers and assessors keep their
  industry knowledge up to date through ongoing professional
development.

Assessment Conditions:

Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and

numeracy skills beyond those required in this module. The
candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and
documentation required.

The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant

workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications,
codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Assessments may be open book assessment and may be

completed off campus. Invigilation software will be used for some
assessments to ensure authenticity of work completed.

Model answers must be provided for all knowledge-based

assessments to ensure reliability of assessment judgements when
marking is undertaken by different assessors.

On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
