This qualification provides the skill and knowledge to work in the electricity supply industry (ESI) as a Remote Community Utilities Worker.
This qualification covers inspecting and maintaining essential public utilities (excluding mine sites) within very remote communities. All work on essential electrical utilities will be undertaken in non-energised (dead) environments other than for testing purposes. The use of support plant and equipment to perform these tasks and environmental requirements also play a part in this job function.
Very Remote Communities: Means a community with restricted access and very little accessibility of goods, services and opportunities for social interaction. Supporting information on the classification of a very remote community can be defined using the latest version of Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA).
Non-energised (dead): Means prior to the commencement of work, all electrical apparatus is to be isolated. That is for high voltage (HV) (short-circuited and earthed) and for low voltage (LV) (short-circuited to the neutral).
The skills and knowledge described within the units in this qualification may require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace.
Additional and/or other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing the qualification.
