Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two different remote area essential service operations and include:

• applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures
• checking isolation of circuits/machines/systems
• completing maintenance and repairs
• completing relevant documentation/reporting
• conducting quality checks
• coordinating work with relevant person/s
• dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
• determining scope of work from documentation and/or relevant person/s
• identifying and accessing materials, tools, equipment and testing devices
• identifying deterioration and damage to facilities
• identifying maintenance issues beyond the scope of work and notifying relevant person/s
• maintaining and repairing remote area essential service operations facilities
• preparing for maintenance and repair work.

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

• maintenance of remote area essential services facilities, including:

• repair and maintenance of:

• fences and gates
• windows

• function/s of relevant electrical components
