Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

Pre-requisite unit: UEECD0007 - Apply work health and safety regulations, codes and practices in the workplace

Course Description

In this course you will gain the essential skills and knowledge required to identify, document and apply work health and safety (WHS)/ occupational health and safety (OHS) hazard and risk control measures associated with electrotechnology work. This will involve: 

  • identifying workplace hazards
  • determining and assigning levesl of risk 
  • developing control measures eliminate/ reduce risks 
  • reviewing risk control measures 
  • maintaining documentation of hazards
  • adhere to compliance procedures

This course is delivered and assessed with the following: 

  • UEERE0013 - Develop strategies to address environmental and sustainability issues in the energy sector
  • UEEEC0017 - Develop engineering solutions to analogue electronic problems; and
  • UEEEC0014 - Design signal-conditioning sub-systems


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEECD0016 Document and apply measures to control WHS risks associated with electrotechnology work

Element:

1. Identify and document hazards and risks associated with electrotechnology work

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Hazards are identified and documented by undertaking a job analysis and worksite inspection in consultation with relevant person/s and in accordance with workplace procedures

1.2  Risks associated with identified hazards are assessed in consultation with relevant person/s, taking into account existing control measures and documented in accordance with workplace procedures

Element:

2. Assign levels of risk and develop and document control measures

Performance Criteria:

2.1 

Level of risk is assessed and prioritised for each identified hazard in consultation with relevant/s persons and in accordance with regulations and WHS/OHS workplace compliance procedures

2.2 

Control measures for identified hazards are determined by applying the hierarchy of control and activities to eliminate and/or mitigate the risk

2.3 

Level of risk is re-assessed to confirm the required control measures reduce the risk level to as low as reasonably practicable

2.4 

Hazards risk level and control measures are agreed to in consultation with relevant stakeholders and documented in accordance with workplace procedures

Element:

3. Monitor, review and document risk control measures

Performance Criteria:

3.1 

Documented control measures are recorded in workplace risk register and made available for reference by relevant person/s

3.2 

Control measures are reviewed and modified, as required, in consultation with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures

3.3 

Document and apply measures to control WHS/OHS risks associated with electrotechnology work

3.4 

Changes and updates are made to relevant documentation, risk register as additional hazards are identified

3.5 

Documentation of hazards, risks control measures and their application are filed in accordance with workplace procedures
