Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake basic repairs to, and maintain, audio equipment and accessories used in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries. At this level, individuals are required to use some discretion and judgement and operate under broad supervision within an established framework of plans and procedures.
In some States and Territories of Australia, a restricted electrical licence is required to repair and maintain production equipment. Restricted electrical licences allow a person to carry out electrical work incidental to a trade. Incidental work may include fault-finding on equipment or changing like for like equipment by disconnecting and reconnecting the fixed wiring. It does not include any other changes to the fixed wiring.
Testing and tagging of electrical equipment must be carried out by a person with the relevant certificate of competency in accordance with the performance specifications of:
Australian Standard 3760: 200 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment
Australian Standard 3002: 1985 Electrical installations - shows and carnivals.
In some States and Territories a licensed electrician would be required to undertake the tasks outlined in Element 2.
