3.2

Relevant person/s is notified of completion of work activity

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, made safe and sustainable energy practices are followed

3.5

Workplace records are updated in accordance with work instructions and workplace procedures

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying industry standards

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

applying sustainable energy practices

dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

dismantling and assembling electrical and electronic components

following quality, workplace procedures and instructions

following work schedule

identifying and carrying out work activities

obtaining and checking tools, equipment resources and materials

producing products in accordance with work schedule

updating work records

using and returning tools, equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), surplus resources and materials.

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

problem-solving techniques

scope of engineering practice work and responsibilities, including:

applying and working to ethical standards

maintaining currency in technical and regulatory developments

working with others in a project team

relevant hand, fixed and portable tools, including:

associated hazards

care and maintenance

cutting, shaping, drilling, threading, tapping, and finishing metallic, non-metallic and structural components

different types of tools and their purpose

requirements for use in the workplace

techniques for the correct and safe use

tools for dismantling and assembling electrical and electronic components

tools for measuring and marking out

relevant industry standards

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant quality workplace procedures

relevant sustainable energy practices

relevant tool, equipment, resources and materials

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies, procedures and instructions.

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 suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable 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 simulations

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

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, relevant industry standards, 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.
