Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare to design mechanical ventilation/exhaust systems and select equipment
- OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood
- Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.
- The extent of the proposed mechanical ventilation/exhaust system is determined from the design brief or in consultations with appropriate person(s).
- Design development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved on the work site.
- Design mechanical ventilation/exhaust systems and select equipment
- Knowledge of mechanical ventilation/exhaust processes and methods are applied to the design.
- Alternative concepts for the design are evaluated based on the requirements outlined in the design brief. (See Note)
- Safety, functional and budget considerations are incorporated in the design.
- System design draft is checked for compliance with the design brief and regulatory requirements.
- System design is documented for submission to appropriate person(s) for approval.
- Solutions to unplanned situation are provided consistent with organisation's policy.
- Obtain approval for mechanical ventilation/exhaust systems design and equipment selection
- System design is presented and explained to client representative and/or other relevant person(s).
- Requests for alterations to the design are negotiated with relevant person(s) within the constraints of organisation's policy.
- Final design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person(s).
- Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organizational or professional standards.
- Note.Design concepts should be evaluated by real or virtual prototyping where it cannot be shown easily by other means that particular aspects of the design met specified requirements.
