Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan for the commissioning/testing of discrete protection and control systems
  • 1.1 Work schedules including drawings, plans, requirements procedures and material lists are acquired, analysed and the extent of work determined.
  • 1.2 Relevant requirements and established procedures for the work are communicated to all personnel and identified for all work sites.
  • 1.3 Hazards are identified, OHS risks assessed and control measures are prioritised, implemented and monitored including emergency exits kept clear, to ensure safe systems of work are followed and according to established procedures.
  • 1.4 Work is prioritised and sequenced for the most efficient and effective outcome following consultation with others for completion within acceptable timeframes, to agreed quality standards and in accordance with established policies and procedures.
  • 1.5 Risk control measures are identified, prioritised, implemented and evaluated against the work schedule.
  • 1.6 Resources including personnel, equipment, tools and personal protective equipment required for the job are identified, acquired and confirmed in safe/technical working order.
  • 1.7 Liaison issues with other personnel and/or authorities are resolved and activities coordinated to facilitate the work.
  • 1.8 Personnel participating in the work including plant operators and contractors are fully briefed, their respective responsibilities explained and coordinated and appropriate authorisation checked in accordance with established procedures.
  • 1.9 Work site is prepared according to the work schedule and to minimise risk and damage to property and personnel in accordance with established procedures.
2 Carry out the commissioning/testing of discrete protection and control systems
  • 2.1 OHS and sustainable energy principles and practices to reduce the incidence of accidents and minimise waste are implemented and monitored in accordance with established procedures.
  • 2.2 CPR, Rescue from live electrical apparatus and other related safety procedures are in place according to requirements and established procedures.

  • 2.4 Lifting, use of power tools/equipment techniques and practices are safely exercised in accordance with established procedures.
  • 2.5 Hazard warnings and safety signs are recognised and hazards and assessed OHS risks are reported to the immediate authorised persons for directions according to established procedures.
  • 2.6 Commissioning/testing of discrete protection and control systems is undertaken according to requirements and established procedures.
  • 2.7 Data is analysed and compared with compliance specifications to ensure commissioning/testing of the discrete system is completed within an agreed timeframe and according to requirements.
  • 2.8 Essential knowledge and associated skills are applied for the safe commissioning/testing of discrete protection and control systems to ensure completion in an agreed timeframe and to quality standards with a minimum of waste according to requirements
  • 2.9 Unplanned events or conditions are responded to in accordance with established procedures.
3 Complete the commissioning/testing of discrete protection and control systems
  • 3.1 Final inspections and functional testing of the discrete protection and control systems are completed and checked to ensure compliance with all requirements.
  • 3.2 Anomalies between requirements and measured performance are reported and solutions identified in accordance with established procedures.
  • 3.3 Safe working documentation is surrendered and discrete protection and control systems are made ready for service.
  • 3.4 Work site is rehabilitated, cleaned up and confirmed safe in accordance with established procedures.
  • 3.5 Tools, equipment and any surplus resources and materials are cleaned, checked and returned to storage in accordance with established procedures.
