(a) Performance Evidence

          The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant and meets all the requirements of the elements and performance criteria as specified in the evaluation, and must include:

          • correctly interpreting WHS regulations, instructions and procedures relevant to the requirements for conduct of safe work listed in the Range of Conditions

          • recognizing and adhering to aerospace industry signage, including aircraft systems plumbing markings

          • recognizing and reporting to designated personnel hazardous situations in the workplace

          •  risk assessment and control

          •  selecting appropriate PPE for the maintenance activity being undertaken

          •  correct interpretation of enterprise and regulatory emergency procedures

          • correct identification and operation of enterprise/industry-specific workplace emergency equipment.

          This unit must be linked to its assessment and application to all other units. The relationship between general workplace WHS requirements, as included in enterprise procedures, and the relevant federal and/or state and territory legislation must be clearly linked.

          Evidence of knowledge and skills associated with the application of WHS standards is required to supplement evidence of ability to interpret and apply specific safe practices in the workplace.

(b) Knowledge Evidence

          Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

          •  the applicable sources of WHS requirements and procedures and their application in requirements for conduct of safe work as listed in the Range of Conditions

          •  how to recognize and report hazardous situations in the workplace

          •  methods of risk assessment and control

          •  the preferred order of ways to control risks (known as the hierarchy of control)

          •  work operations to control risks, e.g. permit to work systems, such as confined space entry and isolation procedures

          •  how to determine requirements for PPE associated with maintenance activities

          •  the correct selection and use of workplace emergency equipment 

          •  action to be taken in emergency situations.

          Requirements for conduct of safe work include:

          •   Applying general duty of care under WHS legislation and common law

          •   Fluid and gas high and low pressure systems, including fluid handling (for example, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, compressed air, nitrogen and oxygen)

          •   Fuelling/defueling and working on fuel systems

          •   Using and handling chemicals, including solvents and battery acids

          •   Electrical systems, outlets and leads

          •   Noise hazard areas and aircraft safety zones

          •   Aircraft handling, towing, jacking, ground equipment operation and signage

          •   Personal protection

          •   Housekeeping and cleaning, waste disposal and foreign object damage (FOD) prevention practices and procedures

          •   Confined space entry (where applicable to the enterprise)

          •   Aircraft strobe lighting (where applicable to the enterprise)

          •   Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation equipment (where applicable to the enterprise)

          Relevant regulatory and enterprise policies and procedures are found in:

          •    WHS Acts, regulations and codes of practice, including regulations and codes of practice relating to hazards present in the workplace or industry

          •   Organizational safety manuals that specify provisions relating to roles and responsibilities of health and safety representatives and/or WHS committees and provisions relating to WHS issue resolution

          •   Maintenance organization manuals

          •   Procedures manuals

          •   Work instructions

          Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements are found in:

          •   Procedures manuals

          •   Maintenance manuals

          •   Work instructions

          Workplace hazard identification includes:

          •   Checking equipment or the work area before work commences and during work

          •   Workplace inspections

          •   Housekeeping

          The assessment are compose of paper exams , interviews, and practical demonstrations, which the paper exam is the main testing. The selection of interviews and practical demonstrations are depending on the assessors’ judgment.This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. When evaluation occurs outside the workplace, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation should be used when the range of conditions reflects realistic situations in the workplace. If a demonstration of the application of skills, the candidate must have access to all the necessary tools, equipment, materials and relevant documentation. The candidate should be allowed to refer to all relevant procedures in the workplace, product specifications and manufacturing, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

          The assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency under routine supervision on at least one item from each of:

          • applying general duty of care under WHS legislation and common law

          • fluid and gas high and low pressure systems, including fluid handling (for example, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, compressed air, nitrogen and oxygen)

          • fuelling/defueling and working on fuel systems using and handling chemicals, including solvents and battery acids electrical systems, outlets and leads noise hazard areas and aircraft safety zones aircraft handling, towing, jacking, ground equipment operation and signage personal protection housekeeping and cleaning, waste disposal and FOD prevention practices and procedures.

          • Also, where applicable to the enterprise, the following:

          • confined space entry

          • aircraft strobe lighting

          • ionizing, non-ionizing radiation equipment

          This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide. The relationship between general workplace WHS requirements, as included in enterprise procedures, and the relevant federal and/or state and territory legislation must be clearly linked.
