Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

This unit involves the 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.

It includes identifying workplace hazards, assigning levels of risk, developing control measures to eliminate and/or mitigate risks, reviewing risk control measures and maintaining documentation of hazards, risk control measures and their application in accordance with compliance procedures.

This unit addresses information, processes and techniques for the application of WHS/OHS, specific to working in the electrotechnology sector and is essential for workers without managerial or supervisory responsibilities.

Typically, this unit will relate to the type of job being undertaken, electrical conditions, energy levels, radiation levels, toxic substances, airborne particles, pressure discharge, explosive atmosphere, worksite location, general worksite conditions, specific work location, moving parts, tools and equipment, workers competence and/or capacity and/or personal effects.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

UEECD0007 Apply work health and safety regulations, codes and practices in the workplace

Cross Discipline

Electrotechnology

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Documenting and applying WHS risks must be demonstrated in relation to electrotechnology installation, testing, inspection, fault finding, maintenance or development work functions and include the following:

relevant WHS/OHS legislation, regulations and codes of practice related to devices and systems and hazards present in residential, commercial and industrial workplaces

accepted industry work procedures and the specific safety procedures and work instructions for a particular workplace or organisation

This unit replaces and is equivalent to UEENEEE137A Document and apply measures to control OHS risks associated with electrotechnology work.
