UET30921 Certificate III in ESI - Very Remote Community Utilities

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this qualification in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package Release 2.0.

Qualification Description

This qualification provides the skill and knowledge to work on very remote community utility systems as a remote community utilities worker in the electricity supply industry (ESI). The qualification covers the skills and knowledge to operate, monitor and maintain generation power systems, distribution electrical network circuits and apparatus, and specialisations in power and water systems. Combined Specialist – Power and Water Systems This combined specialisation covers the skills and knowledge required to work on very remote community utility power and water systems. Specialist – Power Systems This specialisation covers the skills and knowledge required to install, operate, monitor and maintain distribution overhead and underground networks and customer connections. It also includes the skills and knowledge required to monitor and maintain renewable energy systems. Specialist – Water Systems This specialisation covers the skills and knowledge required to install, operate, monitor and maintain water systems. All work on power systems will be undertaken on isolated assets other than for testing purposes. The use of support plant and equipment to perform these tasks and environmental requirements also play a part in this qualification. Please note: RTO to insert on the testamur, the specialisation selected from the specialist elective unit group below. Very Remote Communities: means a community with restricted access and very little accessibility of goods, services and opportunities for social interaction. Supporting information on the classification of a very remote community can be defined using the latest version of Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA) (excluding mine sites). Isolated: Means disconnected from all possible sources of electricity supply by means that prevent unintentional energisation of the apparatus and that are assessed as a suitable step in the process of making safe for access purposes. That is for high voltage (HV) (short-circuited and earthed) and for low voltage (LV) (short-circuited to the neutral). The application of the skills and knowledge described within the units in this qualification may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace. Other conditions may also apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this qualification.

Release 1	This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCLDG3001A Licence to perform dogging. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely perform dogging work. Dogging consists of the application of slinging techniques to move a load, including the selection and inspection of lifting gear, and the directing of a plant operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of sight of the operator.

Dogging work is conducted in the construction industry and other industries where loads are lifted and moved using cranes or hoists.

Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. A licence is obtained after competence is assessed under applicable Commonwealth, state or territory work health and safety (WHS) regulations.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely perform basic rigging work.

Riggers use mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear to move, place or secure loads, including plant, equipment or members of a structure. Riggers ensure the stability of those members and set up and dismantle hoists.

This unit applies to rigging work involving:

structural steel erection

hoists

pre-cast concrete members of a structure

safety nets and static lines

mast climbing work platforms

perimeter safety screens and shutters

cantilevered crane loading platforms.

Rigging work is undertaken in construction and other industries where load shifting equipment is used to move, place or secure loads.

Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

This unit has a pre-requisite requirement. This requirement may be met by either the successful completion of the unit CPCCLDG3001 Licence to perform dogging or holding a valid licence for dogging.

Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. A licence is obtained after competence is assessed under applicable Commonwealth, state or territory work health and safety (WHS) regulations.
