Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to diagnose and rectify faults
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood
2. Established WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures in preparation for the work are followed
3. Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are documented and risk control measures devised and implemented in consultation with appropriate personnel
4. The extent of faults is determined from reports and other documentation and from discussions with appropriate personnel
5. Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the worksite
6. Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to diagnose faults are obtained in accordance with established procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
7. Diagnose and rectify faults
   • WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed
8. The need to test or measure live work is determined in strict accordance with WHS/OHS requirements, and when necessary, conducted within established safety procedures
9. Circuits/machines/plant are checked as being isolated, where necessary, in strict accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and procedures
10. Logical diagnostic methods are applied to diagnose energy supply apparatus faults employing measurements and estimations of system operating parameters referenced to system operational requirements
11. Suspected fault scenarios are tested as being the source of system problems
12. Source of fault is identified and appropriately competent person/s engaged to rectify the fault where it is outside the scope of the control system
13. Faults in the apparatus components are rectified to raise energy supply apparatus to its operation standard
14. System is tested to verify that it operates as intended and to specified requirements
15. Decisions for dealing with unexpected situations are made from discussions with appropriate personnel and job specifications and requirements
16. Methods for dealing with unexpected situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes
17. Diagnosis and rectification activities are carried out efficiently without unnecessary waste of materials or damage to apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
18. Complete and report fault diagnosis and rectification activities
    • WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed
19. Worksite is made safe in accordance with established safety procedures
20. Rectification of faults is documented in accordance with established procedures
21. Appropriate person/s is notified in accordance with established procedures that the system faults have been rectified

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 Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
