Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to winterise vessel and engine systems
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Winterising procedures and information are accessed and interpreted
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability
2. Winterise vessel
   • Vessel systems are tested prior to winterising according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Vessel systems that fail testing are reported according to workplace procedures, and rectification approval is gained from customer
   • Vessel systems are winterised according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
3. Winterise engine and systems
   • Vessel engine and systems are tested prior to winterising according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
   • Vessel engine and system components that fail testing are reported according to workplace procedures, and rectification approval is gained from customer
   • Vessel engine and systems are winterised according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements
