The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Hazards may include but not limited to: | ground stability (e.g. ground condition, recently filled trenches, slopes)overhead hazards (e.g. power lines, service pipes) (NB: Minimum clearance distance from powerlines or electrical equipment as determined by relevant state authority or electrical supply authority) traffic (e.g. pedestrians, vehicles, other plant)insufficient lightingenvironmental conditions (e.g. wind, lightning, storms)other specific hazards (e.g. dangerous materials). |
Hazard control measures: | Refers to the systematic process of eliminating or reducing the risk to personnel and property through the application of controls. It includes the application of the hierarchy of control, the six-step preference of control measures to manage and control risk: eliminationsubstitutionisolationengineering control measuresusing safe work practicespersonal protective equipment. |
