Qualification	-	Unit of Competency	CUALGT502 - Manage installation of lighting systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application	This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the installation and set-up of equipment and systems required to implement lighting designs for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display a high level of initiative, judgement and responsibility as they plan, organise and manage resources needed to install lighting systems in venues.In some States and Territories of Australia, a restricted electrical licence is required to repair and maintain production equipment. Restricted electrical licences allow a person to carry out electrical work incidental to a trade. Incidental work may include fault-finding on equipment or changing like for like equipment by disconnecting and reconnecting the fixed wiring. It does not include any other changes to the fixed wiring.Testing and tagging of electrical equipment must be carried out by a person with the relevant certificate of competency in accordance with the performance specifications of:Australian Standard 3760: 200 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipmentAustralian Standard 3002: 1985 Electrical installations - shows and carnivals.
Duration and Setting	X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to venues where lighting systems need to be installed for productions. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency	Performance Criteria
Element: Plan installation of lighting systems	Clarify lighting requirements in consultation with relevant personnel Plan lighting control systems with reference to information in lighting designs and production documentation Conduct site or venue inspections to identify issues to be incorporated into planning of lighting installation and operations Compile a list of resources needed to develop lighting control systems that meet production requirements Where possible, incorporate into the planning process new developments in lighting technology and innovative approaches to producing lighting effects Develop contingency plans to minimise the impact of unexpected events on the installation and operation of lighting systems Do a job safety analysis of tasks and incorporate health and safety considerations into overall planning Develop and document, in an agreed format, a work plan for installing lighting systems
Element: Organise resources	Develop realistic expenditure estimates that conform to budget allocations Hire or purchase required resources according to organisational procedures Identify potential budget overruns and resolve or recommend alternatives to relevant personnel Organise crew in line with industry award guidelines Organise the services of licensed personnel as required
Element: Supervise the installation process	Supervise the connection of control systems Monitor progress of lighting system installation against work plans and implement contingency plans as required to ensure that production deadlines are met Ensure that all work activities comply health and safety and industry award guidelines Progressively test aspects of lighting system installation to check that lighting effects specified in designs can be achieved Use sight, sound and smell to identify faults in lighting equipment and accessories Review finished installation with relevant personnel and make adjustments as required
