Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare to solve problems in industrial refrigeration systems.
- OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, identified, obtained and understood
- Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.
- Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are noted and established risk control measures are implemented.
- The nature of the problem is obtained from documentation or from work supervisor to establish the scope of work to be undertaken.
- Advice is sought from the work supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others.
