RIIMCU504D — Implement the outburst management plan

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• locates and applies relevant legislation, documentation, policies and procedures
• implements the procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient implementation of the outburst management plan including:  operating hand held monitoring equipment  accessing and interpreting data from monitoring systems and equipment  accessing, interpreting and applying design criteria for outburst management systems and devices  accessing and interpreting archival and historical outburst information related to the mine  interpreting and applying mathematical and scientific theorems/laws related to outburst  performing outburst planning mathematical calculations  interpreting computer spreadsheets and outburst modelling/simulations
• works with others to undertake and complete the implementation of the outburst management plan that meets all of the required outcomes including:  communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions, and convey work progress  identifying roles and responsibilities in accordance with outburst mining management plan  identifying the relevant information and scope of the work necessary to meet the required outcomes  interpreting outburst training requirement
• demonstrates completion of implementing the outburst management plan that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:  identifying viable options and selecting the gas drainage management plan elements that best meet the required outcomes  conducting enquiries/investigations and preparing reports  conducting audit and review processes
