This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply technologies and concepts to energy sector work activities.

It includes preparing and applying technologies and concepts to work activities. It also includes checking results using technologies and applications of concepts using a range of information technologies, and applying analytical concepts to achieve desired outcomes ensuring work is completed in an agreed time, to industry standard and with a minimum of waste.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

2

Use technologies and apply concepts to work

2.1

WHS/OHS workplace procedures and safe work practices are followed to eliminate or minimise incidents

2.2

Schedule of using technologies and applying concepts to achieving the desired outcome is followed to ensure work is completed in an agreed time, to a quality standard and with a minimum of waste

2.3

Further instructions are sought from relevant person/s in the event of unplanned events

2.4

Ongoing checks of work quality are undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures and job requirements

3

Check results

3.1

Final checks are made to ensure technologies and applications of concepts conforms with instructions and requirements

3.2

Relevant person/s is notified of completion in the use of technologies and applications of concepts

3.3

Tools, equipment, surplus resources and materials are cleaned, checked and returned to storage in accordance with workplace procedures

3.4

Work area is cleaned and made safe by applying sustainable energy practices

3.5

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

understanding work instruction

obtaining and checking tools and equipment

following work schedules

using technologies and applying concepts appropriately

returning tools and surplus resources as required

updating work records

dealing with unplanned events

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including the use of risk control measures

applying sustainable energy principles and practices

cleaning and making safe work area

communicating and confirming technologies and concepts, including information technologies

obtaining resources and materials, including performing ongoing checks

working with relevant person/s.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

energy sector technologies and concepts, personal computers and computer hardware, including:

starting up

selecting application

entering information

saving

printing

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and PPE currently used in industry

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

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.
