Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENTS	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1	Prepare/plan to coordinate and direct switching schedules	1.1	Work schedules, including drawings, plans, requirements, established procedures and material lists, are obtained and analysed, as necessary, by site inspection and the extent of the preparation of the work determined for planning and coordination
1.2	Work is prioritised and sequenced for the most efficient and effective outcome following consultation with others for completion within acceptable timeframes, to a quality standard and in accordance with established procedures
1.3	Risk control measures are identified, prioritised and evaluated against the work schedule
1.4	Relevant requirements and established procedures for the work are communicated to all personnel and identified for all worksites
1.5	Hazards are identified, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) risks assessed and control measures prioritised, implemented and monitored, including emergency exits kept clear, to ensure safe systems of work are followed and according to established procedures
1.6	Relevant work permits are secured to coordinate the performance of work according to requirements and/or established procedures
1.7	Resources, including personnel, equipment, tools and personal protective equipment (PPE), required for the job are identified, scheduled and coordinated and confirmed safe and in technical working order
1.8	Clients/customers are provided with possible solutions and/or options within the scope, acceptable cost and requirements
