Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare to resolve problems in ice making systems
  2. Safety hazards not previously identified are noted and risk control measures implemented
  3. Scope of the problem is obtained from documentation and/or from work supervisor to determine the work to be completed
  4. Advice is sought from supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
  5. Materials required for work are identified and obtained in accordance with workplace procedures
  6. Tools, equipment and testing devices required to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety in accordance with workplace procedures
  7. Resolve problems in ice making systems
  8. Circuits/machines/plant are checked and isolated in accordance with legislative, standard and code requirements and workplace procedures
  9. Problems are diagnosed using observations, measurements, calculations and comparison with normal operating values of system and components
  10. Information needed to resolve problems, including system specifications, 'as-installed' drawings, service records and measured and calculated values of component operating parameters, are obtained and evaluated in accordance with relevant industry operating parameters
  11. Problems are dealt with in accordance with WHS/OHS procedures and approval of relevant person/s
  12. Problems are resolved without damage to apparatus, circuits, the surrounding environment and/or services using sustainable energy practices
  13. Complete work and document problem-solving activities
  14. Justification for solutions used to resolve problems are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
  15. Work completion is documented and relevant person/s notified in accordance with workplace procedures
