• 1.1Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations, legislative requirements, codes of practice, manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, environmental requirements and workplace procedures are identified, applied and monitored
• 1.2Work requirements are identified from relevant personnel and documentation in accordance with workplace procedures
• 1.3Preoperational checks are carried out on plant in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures

2 Conduct HRSG start- up

• 2.1Preoperational conditions of the HRSG and gas turbine are established in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.2Minimum operation of gas turbine is established and supported in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures
• 2.3Monitoring of HRSG drum level, feedwater flow, steam and metal temperature rates of rise, steam pressure rate of rise and control of steam flow and drainage is carried out in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures
• 2.4Exhaust temperature, flow to HRSG and gas turbine power output are adjusted to achieve required steam conditions and demand in accordance workplace procedures
• 2.5HRSG plant is operated within limits of design in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.6HRSG plant is monitored to detect deviations from required operating conditions in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.7Corrective action is taken to rectify HRSG abnormalities in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures

3 Test HRSG plant operation

• 3.1Tests are performed in accordance with workplace procedures
• 3.2HRSG plant is observed for correct operational response in accordance with workplace procedures
• 3.3HRSG plant is returned to required operational status upon completion of testing in accordance with workplace procedures

4 Analyse HRSG faults

• 4.1Causes of abnormal HRSG plant operating conditions are identified by analysing technical and operational information in accordance with workplace procedures
• 4.2HRSG plant integrity and personnel safety are maintained through consultation with relevant personnel and technical and operational documentation in accordance with workplace procedures
• 4.3Relevant personnel are notified when defects are detected in accordance with workplace procedures

5 Complete documentation

• 5.1HRSG plant problems, movements and status are reported in accordance with workplace procedures
• 5.2Documentation is updated in accordance with workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for UEPOPS141 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEPOPS141 needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 18 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 UEPOPS141?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEPOPS141 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 UEPOPS141 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEPOPS141 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 UEPOPS141, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
