Unit of Competency NWPNET003 - Control electrical risk on metallic pipes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to safe guard work on metallic pipes. This unit applies to those working as field and operational staff with responsibility for the control measures of high risk electrical hazards. The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to. Those undertaking this unit would work independently under indirect supervision while performing routine tasks with a moderate level of complexity in a familiar context. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
