Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson – industrial electrician apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in working safely with electrical installations and equipment; following work health and safety (WHS) systems and procedures; and the scope, application and fundamental principles of AS/NZS 3000:2007 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules).It covers knowledge of the application of WHS regulations; procedures for identifying and mitigating electrical hazards; supervision requirements applying to apprentices and trainees; following documented safe work methods, including safe isolation procedures: and application of compliance standards to ensure electrical installations and equipment are safe to use.This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to meet the Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council (ERAC).Essential Performance Capabilities (EPCs):EPC 45 – Demonstrate the knowledge and practices that are essential for working safely with electrical equipment and tools, for safe manual handling, working safely at heights and in confined spaces. Knowledge of testing and tagging procedures to AS 3760.EPC 55 – Demonstrate knowledge and application of electricity generation systems and electricity converters and the requirements of AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules for stand-alone and grid connected systems. Basic knowledge of battery storage systems and uninterruptible power supplies.AndEssential Performance Capability (EPC) classified as ’critical’:EPC 10 – Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental safety principles of AS/NZS 3000 Part 1. Knowledge of hierarchy of standards. Nomative/informative text.EPC 31 – Demonstrate the knowledge and skill to perform effective isolation of any equipment, including switch and lock off, circuit isolation, equipment testing and tag out procedures, including capacitor banks.EPC 43 – Demonstrate understanding of the requirements for personal safety in the workplace and application of safety practices.Some jurisdictions require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.Band: AUnit Weight: 2 | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Assessors must: have vocational competency in applying safety practices, procedures and compliance standards associated with licensed electrical work at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011 or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring State as the case requires. Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications. 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. |
