Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare specification requirements
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
2. Techniques for specification writing are reviewed and applied in accordance with workplace procedures
3. Scope of the specification is determined using formal evaluation/survey processes
4. Criteria from related works impacting specification are determined from relevant documentation, site visits and/or discussions with relevant person/s
   • Specification is developed with scenarios/requirements in consultation with relevant person/s in accordance with relevant industry standards
5. Specification is developed in collaboration with relevant design professionals and contractors involved in the project
6. Relevant person/s required for the project is identified and roles specified in accordance with specification scope
7. Specification is reviewed in accordance with specification scope inputs and adjusted to rectify anomalies
8. Specification is developed in accordance with workplace procedures
9. Obtain approval of specification
   • Specification is presented and discussed with relevant person/s
10. Alterations to the specification resulting from discussions are negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
11. Specification is finalised and approval obtained from relevant person/s
