Range Statement

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Equipment and tool checks must include checking for:	serviceability, operation and positioning compliance with team specifications compliance with controlling body rules and category rules compliance with supplementary regulations.
Safety and environmental requirements must include:	work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for identifying hazards and managing risks environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of contaminants and fluids released during pit lane and service area operations.
Team member briefing must include:	confirming task timings clarifying requirements of category rules and supplementary regulations discussing event safety requirements discussing event environmental requirements, including trapping, storing and disposing of contaminants and fluids released during pit lane and service area operations security procedures for the event.
