Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to find and repair faults
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for relevant work area are identified, obtained and applied
2. Risk control measures are applied in accordance with workplace procedures prior to commencing work
3. Nature of the fault is obtained from documentation and/or from relevant person/s to determine scope of work
4. Instructions for coordinating work with others are obtained from relevant person/s and applied
5. Materials required for the work are determined in accordance with workplace procedures
6. Tools, equipment and testing devices required for work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
   • Workplace risk control measures and procedures are applied
7. Need to test and measure live work is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
8. Apparatus is checked and isolated in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
9. Fault finding is undertaken methodically applying principles of data circuits using measured and calculated values of apparatus parameters
10. Apparatus components are dismantled, where necessary, and parts stored to protect against loss or damage
11. Faulty components are rechecked and their fault status confirmed
12. Effectiveness of the repair is tested in accordance with workplace procedures
13. Apparatus is reassembled, tested and prepared for return to customer
14. Unplanned situations are dealt with safely and with the approval of relevant person/s
15. Fault finding is conducted efficiently without waste of materials, damage to apparatus, the surrounding environment or services applying sustainable energy practices
