           2.2 The need to test or measure live is determined in strict accordance with OHS requirements and when necessary conducted within established safety procedures.

           2.3 Circuits/machines/plant are checked as being isolated where necessary in strict accordance OHS requirements and procedures.

           2.4 Safety hazards resulting from the fault or breakdown are documented and risk control measures devised and implemented in consultation with appropriate personnel.

           2.5 Trouble-shooting is approached methodically drawing on knowledge of electrical circuits and apparatus using measured and calculated values of circuit/apparatus parameters.

           2.6 Circuit/apparatus components are dismantled where necessary and parts stored to protect them against loss or damage.

           2.7 Faulty circuits/components are rechecked and their fault status and acquired.

           2.8 Materials/replacement parts required to rectify faults are sourced and obtained in accordance with established procedures.

           2.9 Effectiveness of the repair is tested in accordance with established procedures.

           2.10 Apparatus is reassembled, finally tested and prepared for return to service.

           2.11 Unexpected situations are dealt with safely and with the approval of an authorised person.

           2.12 Trouble-shooting and repair activities are carried out without damage to apparatus, circuits, the surrounding environment or services and using sustainable energy practices.

Element:

3. Completion and report trouble-shoot and repair activities.
 

Performance Criteria:

 3.1 OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed.

           3.2 Work area is cleaned and made safe in accordance with established procedures.

           3.3 Written justification is made for repairs to apparatus.

                           3.4 Work completion is documented and an appropriate person or persons notified in accordance with established procedures.
