Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to find and rectify faults
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood
2. WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed in preparation for work
3. Scope of fault is obtained from documentation and/or from work supervisor to determine work
4. Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others
5. Sources of materials required for work are identified in accordance with workplace procedures
