Course Description

This unit covers contributing to the management of risk in electrotechnology systems related to OHS, environment, resources and financial viability. It encompasses contributing to the identification of electrotechnology systems risks; and risk events, the likelihood and consequences of such events, evaluating risk, risk management planning and mitigation of risk.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEE078B Contribute to risk management in electrotechnology systems

Element:

1. Contribute to the identification of risks and development of management strategies
2. Contribute to the implementation and monitoring of risk management strategies.
3. Contribute to the evaluation of risk management strategies.

Performance Criteria:

1.1 OHS policies, processes and procedures for a given
work area are identified, obtained and understood..
1.2 The extent of a program or project is established
from design brief, specification and/or other
relevant documentation and from discussions with
appropriate person(s).
1.3 Potential, perceived and actual risk events and
electrotechnology systems risks are identified,
documented and analysed, in consultation with
appropriate other person(s) in accordance with
organisation policies and procedures..
1.4 Risk management methods, tools and techniques are
used to assist in the analysis and reporting of
identified risk events.
1.5 Risk management techniques are used to analyse
electrotechnology systems risks and risk events,
assess options and recommend risk approaches to
appropriate person(s) for approval
1.6 Draft risk management processes and procedures are
developed and communicated with all stakeholders
to ensure understanding of management of risk
factors.
2.1 Risk management processes and procedures are
produced and submitted for incorporation into work
and project plans to ensure common approach
achieving outcomes.
2.2 Activities are monitored against programs and
projects plans to identify and responses submitted to
appropriate person(s) for approval for variations in
accordance with risk management processes and
established procedures.
2.3 Agreed risk responses are revised for
implementation and plans modified following
approval to reflect changing project objectives in an
environment of uncertainty, in accordance with risk
management processes and established procedures..
3.1 Project outcomes are reviewed with appropriate
person(s) to determine effectiveness of risk
management processes and established procedures
3.2 Risk issues and recommended improvements are
identified, documented and submitted to appropriate
person(s) for approval to incorporate them into
ongoing programs and future program and project
and plans.
3.3 Outcomes are documented and recorded/stored in
accordance established procedures..
