1. Prepare to find and rectify faults.
1.1 WHS/OH&S procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood.
1.2 Established WHS/OH&S risk control measures and procedures in preparation for the work are followed.
1.3 Safety hazards, which have not previously been identified, are noted and established risk control measures are implemented.
1.4 The likely extent of work to be undertaken is envisaged from fault/breakdown reports and/or discussions with appropriate
person(s).
1.5 Advice is sought from the work supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others.
1.6 Sources of materials that may be required for the work are established in accordance with established procedures.
1.7 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to locate faults are obtained in accordance with established procedures and checked
for correct operation and safety.
2. Find and repair fault
2.1 WHS/OH&S risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed.
2.2 The need to test or measure live is determined in strict accordance with WHS/OH&S requirements and when necessary conducted within established safety procedures.
2.3 Circuits/machines/plant are checked as being isolated where necessary in strict accordance WHS/OH&S requirements and procedures.
2.4 Fault finding is approached methodically drawing on knowledge of energy network equipment using measured and calculated values of circuit/apparatus parameters.
2.5 Circuit/apparatus components are dismantled where necessary and parts stored to protect them against loss or damage
2.6 Faulty circuits/components are rechecked and their fault status and acquired.
2.7 Materials/replacement parts required to rectify faults are sourced and obtained in accordance with established procedures.
2.8 Effectiveness of the repair is tested in accordance with established procedures.
2.9 Apparatus is reassembled, finally tested and prepared for return to service.
2.10 Unexpected situations are dealt with safely and with the approval of an authorised person.
2.11 Fault finding and repair activities are carried out without damage to apparatus, circuits, the surrounding environment or services and using sustainable energy practices.
3. Completion and report fault finding and repair activities.
3.1 WHS/OH&S 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 Reusable, faulty or worn components are tagged and dispatched for repair to maintain adequate spares.
3.4 Maintenance work activities are documented in accordance with established procedures.

Note.
Examples of documentation are component faults reports, test results, authorisations, permits, and parts/component dispatch and stores records
