UEEHA0017 — Classify areas where a combustible dust hazard may arise

1 Determine the combustible characteristics of the material and extent of explosion hazard

• 1.1Knowledge of the factors considered in classification of combustible dust atmospheres is applied
• 1.2Consideration is given to reducing the extent of explosion hazards by the application of hierarchy of risk controls
• 1.3Dust combustibility is determined in consultation with process specialists and relevant sources of information and, where applicable, obtaining confirmation by commissioning laboratory tests
• 1.4Material characteristics such as particle size, moisture content, cloud and layer minimum ignition temperature and electrical resistivity, are obtained from process specialists and relevant sources of information and, where applicable, laboratory tests
• 1.5Dust containment and sources of release, including likely formation of dust layers are identified from process personnel with operational and maintenance experience
• 1.6The probability that dust will be released and form an explosive dust atmosphere in an installation is determined from possible causes and characteristics of release taking into account ventilation and dust extraction

2 Assign the type and extent of zones

• 2.1Sources and grades of release and dust deposits in layering that may occur in the area are established from collected data and consultation with process specialists
• 2.2Area classification zones are attributed according to the frequency and duration of the occurrence of explosive dust atmospheres
• 2.3The extent of each zone is determined in accordance with the relevant standard and in consideration of examples of locations that may give rise to a zone
• 2.4The nature of housekeeping is taken into account

3 Document classification and delineation of zones

• 3.1Area classification processes and procedures are documented as required by the relevant standards including the level of housekeeping on which the classification is based
• 3.2Classification documentation records are provided for future reference and for incorporation in the verification dossier

What does an assessment tool for UEEHA0017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEEHA0017 needs to address all 45 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 22 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for UEEHA0017?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEEHA0017 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for UEEHA0017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEEHA0017 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of UEEHA0017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
