Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify electronic control system requirements
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
2. Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work
3. Scope of the proposed electronic control system is determined from design brief in consultation with appropriate person/s
4. Design of electronic control system development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with person/s involved on the worksite
5. Materials and devices/components required for work are determined on compatibility of their specifications with control system requirements and project budget constraints
6. Design electronic control system
   • WHS/OHS risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed
7. Alternative design/s is considered based on the design brief
8. Safety, functional and budget considerations are incorporated in the design specification
9. Prototype devices and circuits are constructed, programmed and tested for compliance with design brief and regulatory requirements
10. Prototype faults are rectified and retested to ensure effective operation of design
11. Control system design specifications are documented for submission to appropriate person/s for approval
12. Solutions to unplanned situations are implemented in accordance with workplace policy
13. Obtain approval for electronic control system
    • Control system design is presented and explained to client representative and/or relevant person/s
14. Alterations to design are negotiated with relevant person/s within the constraints of workplace policy
15. Final system design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person/s
16. Quality of work is monitored against performance agreement and/or workplace or relevant industry standards
