Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.

Application

This unit covers the planning and layout of street lighting systems. It includes the conduction of site inspections to confirm and/or modify a street lighting system layout, estimation of costs and resources for the work order, and the pegging out of the poles/underground cables according to the work order and to optimise visibility and minimise traffic hazards. It also encompasses the provision of advice on conditions of supply and permits and the communication and coordination needed to be undertaken with the relevant authorities and clients. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
