Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to calibrate and test measuring instruments
  • 1.1 OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood
  • 1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.
  • 1.3 Safety hazards that have not previously been identified are noted, and established risk control measures are implemented.
  • 1.4 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the work site
  • 1.5 Instrument parameters are determined by reviewing process specification and equipment manuals.
  • 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed for the work are obtained in accordance with established procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Calibrate and test measuring instruments
