Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for work
   • Work instructions are used to determine job requirements, including timings, equipment to be maintained and materials
   • Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including ventilation and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
   • Tools, equipment and accessories are identified and checked for safe and effective operation
   • Work area is cleared of unwanted stock, products and materials
   • Equipment is isolated from power sources and made safe in accordance with site procedures
2. Maintain the equipment
   • Equipment is dismantled in accordance with manufacturer specifications and site procedures
   • Components are laid out in a logical re-assembly sequence
   • Components are cleaned and serviced using authorised materials and tools/equipment
   • Components are inspected and faulty items repaired, replaced or referred for further maintenance action
   • Equipment is re-assembled and operations are tested
   • Equipment maintenance is reported/recorded in accordance with site procedures
3. Maintain booths
   • Combustion and ignition sources are neutralised throughout the work sequence
   • Ventilation and other services are inspected for operation, cleaned out and, where appropriate, replenished, replaced or referred for further maintenance action
   • Surfaces and floors are cleaned and restored in accordance with site and industry standards
   • Materials and consumable stores are cleaned and restored in accordance with site, industry and regulatory standards
