Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan for and coordinate the development of outage strategies
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) practices/procedures and environmental and sustainable energy procedures, which may influence the outage strategies, are reviewed and determined
2. Purpose of the outage is established and expected outcomes of the work are confirmed with appropriate personnel
3. Organisational established procedures on policies and specifications for the outage are obtained or established with appropriate personnel
4. Equipment/tools and personnel protective equipment (PPE) are selected and coordinated based on specified requirements and established procedures
5. Work is prioritised and sequenced for the most efficient and effective outcome following consultation with others for completion within acceptable timeframes, to a quality standard and in accordance with established procedures
6. Risk control measures are identified, prioritised and evaluated against the work schedule
7. Relevant work permits are secured to coordinate the performance of work according to requirements and/or established procedures
8. Resources, including personnel, equipment, tools and PPE, required for the job are identified, scheduled and coordinated and confirmed safe and in technical working order
9. Liaison and communication issues with others/authorised personnel, authorities, clients and land owners are resolved and activities coordinated to carry out work
10. Personnel participating in the work, including plant operators and contractors, are fully briefed and respective responsibilities coordinated and authorised, where applicable, in accordance with established procedures
11. Carry out and coordinate the development of outage strategies
    • Circuit/systems modelling is used to evaluate alternative proposals in accordance with established procedures
12. WHS/OHS and sustainable energy principles, functionality and practices to reduce the incidence of accidents and minimise waste are incorporated into the strategy in accordance with requirements and/or established procedures
13. Strategy decisions are made on the basis of safety and effective outcomes according to requirements and/or established procedures
14. Mathematical models of the outage strategies are used to analyse the effectiveness of the finished project in accordance with requirements and established procedures
15. Technical advice is given to potential hazards, safety risks and control measures so that monitoring and preventative action can be undertaken and/or appropriate authorities consulted, where necessary, in accordance with requirements and established procedures
16. Essential knowledge and associated skills are applied to analyse specific data and compare it with compliance specifications to ensure completion of the strategy within an agreed timeframe according to requirements
17. Solutions to non-routine problems are identified and actioned using acquired essential knowledge and associated skills according to requirements
18. Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organisational and professional standards
19. Complete and coordinate the development of outage strategies
    • Final review of the strategy is undertaken to ensure it complies with all requirements and include all specifications and documentations needed to complete the project
20. Appropriate personnel are notified of completion and reports and/or completion documents are finalised
21. Reports and/or completion documents are submitted to relevant personnel/organisations for approval and, where applicable, statutory or regulatory approval
22. Approved copies of outage strategy documents are issued and records are updated in accordance with established procedures

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
