Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to tune control loop with advanced functions
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
2. WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed in preparation for the work
3. Safety hazards that have not previously been identified are noted and risk control measures implemented
4. Relevant person/s is consulted to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the worksite
5. Advanced control loop parameters are identified by reviewing process specifications and equipment instructions
6. Tools, equipment and testing devices required for work are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
7. Preparatory work is checked to ensure no damage has occurred and work is in accordance with relevant industry standards
8. Need to inspect, test and measure live work is determined in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
9. Circuits/machines/plant are inspected, tested and isolated in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
10. Tune control loop for advanced functions
