UEEEL0001

Apply compliance requirements to all aspects of electrical work

This Skill Set is intended for electrical licence holders who, according to the regulatory authority, have exhibited recalcitrance in their licence and/or WHS/OHS obligations.

It may be called up by an electrical safety or WHS/OHS authority as a means of retraining of such licence holders. Incompetence in not meeting required obligation could result from:

• a competent person acting incompetently, or
• a previously competent person failing to keep abreast of changes and developments in the WHS/OHS requirements and practices, the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules and local service rules and related regulatory requirements.

As the purpose of this Skill Set is to address the deficiencies described above, the application of this unit requires that candidates shall not be afforded Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and must undertake training and assessment to demonstrate competency in all aspects of the work of the unit.

This Skill Set from the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package meets the industry requirements for compliance requirements to all aspects of electrical work.

Not applicable.
