3.2 Communicate with colleagues during operation to share information and ensure quality of productions

3.3 In consultation with relevant personnel, evaluate effectiveness of outdoor lighting operations and note areas for future improvement

Evidence of the ability to:

develop specifications for lighting systems that meet production requirements in an outdoor setting on at least two occasions

manage the installation and operation of lighting operations for outdoor events on at least two occasions

work collaboratively.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

explain how a range of lighting equipment and accessories can be used to achieve different lighting effects

provide examples of work health and safety issues and hazards associated with operating lighting equipment outdoors, and suggest ways of responding to them

explain legal, regulatory and environmental issues that impact on operating lighting in outdoor venues

explain the impact of different types of outdoor sites on electricity provision

provide examples of issues and challenges that typically arise when managing lighting operations for outdoor events, along with strategies for addressing them.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to an outdoor venue and lighting and staging equipment suitable for outdoor use.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
