Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to identify building techniques, methods and materials
   • Instructions for identifying building techniques, methods and materials used in electrotechnology work are obtained and clarified
2. Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures are identified and applied
3. Tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) required for work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
4. Identification of building techniques, methods and materials is coordinated with relevant person/s
5. Resources and materials needed for work are confirmed, scheduled and obtained in accordance with workplace procedures
6. Schedule for identifying building techniques methods and materials used, including practices for working safely, is confirmed in accordance with instructions and requirements
7. Identify building techniques, methods and materials
   • Hazards are identified, risks assessed and control measures implemented
8. Schedule to identify building techniques, methods and materials used is followed to ensure work is completed in an agreed time to a quality standard and with a minimum of waste
9. Unplanned events are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures and approval of relevant person/s
10. Ongoing checks of work quality are undertaken in accordance with instructions and requirements
11. Confirm building techniques, methods and materials used
    • Final checks are made to confirm building techniques, methods and materials used conform with work instructions and job requirements
12. Work completion is documented and relevant person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures
