Successfully complete MMA Assessment OICEW-4-1D Monitor engineering machinery

STCW Competence	Knowledge, Understanding, and Proficiency
Carry out a watch routine appropriate to the duties of a rating forming part of an engine-room watch.	RFPEW-A1.4 Basic environmental protection procedures

Condition	Behavior	Standard
On a vessel, on a simulator, or in a laboratory,	the candidate monitors a sewage- treatment plant. All The assessment applies to all RFPEW endorsements.	The candidate: Checks the plant’s operational status; Checks the destination of “black water” sewage; Checks sewage-circulating and overboard-discharge pump pressures; Checks sewage-circulating and overboard-discharge pump mechanical seals for leakage; Checks air-compressor discharge pressure; Checks the chemical-batch tank level; Checks for any unusual conditions or noises; Notifies the watch engineer of any unusual or unsafe conditions; and Takes proper action to prevent safety and pollution violations.
