2. Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures implemented in preparation for work
3. Scope of inspection, testing and commissioning is determined from job specifications, design drawings and regulatory requirements
4. Appropriate safe working person/s is consulted to ensure work activity is coordinated effectively with others involved on the worksite
5. Materials needed for testing and commissioning of power signalling circuits, equipment and components are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked against job specifications
6. Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to inspect, test and commission power signalling circuits, equipment and components are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
7. Inspect, test and commission power signalling circuits, equipment and components
   • WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out work are followed
8. On-track safe working requirements are identified and applied in accordance with workplace procedures and safety management system
9. Inspection is carried out and circuits, equipment and components are checked to ensure they are in accordance with manufacturer and system specifications
10. Inspecting, testing and commissioning work includes installation, termination and operation of the signalling equipment; and checking indicators and signal system operation is completed in accordance with network requirements and relevant industry standards
11. Methods for dealing with unplanned situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes
12. Inspection, testing, commissioning and repairs are performed efficiently, without waste of materials or damage to apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
13. System and design faults are verified using relevant industry technical standards information, fault-finding and diagnostic techniques to identify faulty wiring equipment and components
14. Identified irregularities and non-conforming wiring, equipment or components are documented and immediate follow-up action is initiated to ensure faults are rectified
15. Faulty signalling equipment is replaced, adjusted and secured in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
16. Complete testing and commissioning work and reports
    • WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
17. Inspection and test results are documented in accordance with workplace procedures and faulty or replaced equipment is tagged and despatched to maintain equipment spares
18. Operational equipment is handed over to approved person/s in accordance with handover workplace procedures and final documentation is completed

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
