What an assessment for UEECD0016 must cover

37 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify and document hazards and risks associated with electrotechnology work

  • 1.1Hazards are identified and documented by undertaking a job analysis and worksite inspection in consultation with relevant person/s and in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.2Risks associated with identified hazards are assessed in consultation with relevant person/s, taking into account existing control measures and documented in accordance with workplace procedures

2 Assign levels of risk and develop and document control measures

  • 2.1Level of risk is assessed and prioritised for each identified hazard in consultation with relevant/s persons and in accordance with regulations and WHS/OHS workplace compliance procedures
  • 2.2Control measures for identified hazards are determined by applying the hierarchy of control and activities to eliminate and/or mitigate the risk
  • 2.3Level of risk is re-assessed to confirm the required control measures reduce the risk level to as low as reasonably practicable
  • 2.4Hazards risk level and control measures are agreed to in consultation with relevant stakeholders and documented in accordance with workplace procedures

3 Monitor, review and document risk control measures

  • 3.1Documented control measures are recorded in workplace risk register and made available for reference by relevant person/s
  • 3.2Control measures are reviewed and modified, as required, in consultation with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3Document and apply measures to control WHS/OHS risks associated with electrotechnology work
  • 3.4Changes and updates are made to relevant documentation, risk register as additional hazards are identified
  • 3.5Documentation of hazards, risks control measures and their application are filed in accordance with workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • identifying hazards by job analysis and/or work-site inspection
  • documenting hazards
  • determining risks associated with identified hazards
  • determining the degree of risk in consultation with relevant person/s and in accordance with workplace requirements and documenting the level of risk
  • working with a group to identify effective hazard control measures
  • working with a group to modify and/or develop safe work methods
  • utilising the hierarchy of control to develop reasonably practicable control measures to eliminate or control risk
  • reassessing the level of risk and documenting the reassessed level of risk
  • documenting control measures
  • updating worksite risk register
  • monitoring, reviewing relevant control measure documentation to ensure control measures remain valid
  • reviewing job-specific and/or worksite processes to ensure control measures remain valid
  • identifying job-specific and/or worksite changes and modifying hazard, risk and control measure documentation
  • following workplace requirements for filing control measure documentation
  • identifying practical control measures for dealing with the hazards on a construction worksite
  • identifying practical control measures for dealing with the hazards of low voltage (LV) equipment
  • identifying practical control measures for dealing with the hazards of high voltage (HV)

Knowledge evidence

  • risk management and assessment of risks, including: - principle and purpose of risk management - processes for conducting a risk assessment - hazard identification by job analysis and work-site inspection - recording hazards and assessing risk
  • recognising and assigning a level of risk, including: - high (potential to kill or permanent disability) - medium (potential to cause an injury or illness of a permanent nature) - low (potential to cause a minor injury requiring first aid but no permanent disability) - the likelihood of an incident happening - risk level matrix
  • identifying control measures to eliminate or control risk, including: - hierarchy of control measures - what constitutes a reasonably practicable control measure - monitoring and reviewing processes to ensure control measures remain valid
  • control measure documentation, including: - job safety analysis (JSAs) - safe work method statements (SWMS) - risk registers - relevant industry standards
  • construction site hazards, risks and control measures, including: - manual and mechanical handling - noise, dusts, gases and chemicals - working at heights - working in confined spaces - harmful airborne contaminants: fibres of thermal insulation, fibrous cement materials, asbestos, silica and other fibres in insulation materials - harmful devices: laser equipped devices, gas torches and welding equipment - harmful materials: gases including refrigerants, industrial cleaning agents, fibres of optical cable, thermal insulation, glues and other setting agents
  • hazards, risks and control measures associated with HV, including: - control measures used for dealing with the hazards of HV - parts of an electrical system and equipment where HV is likely - the terms ‘touch voltage’, ‘step voltage’, ‘induced voltage’, ‘stored energy’ and ‘creepage’ as they relate to the hazards of HV - Australian and New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS) requirements for safety services and issues related to HV installations - consultation and the requirement for the use of authorised personnel for undertaking isolations, maintenance and reporting of faults (including permit requirements)
  • hazards, risks and control measures associated with LV equipment, including: - risks in modifying electrical installations, fault finding, maintenance and repair - control measures before, while and after working on electrical installations, circuits and equipment - isolation and tagging-off procedures - risks, restrictions and control measures for working live - alternate supplies
  • hazards associated with extra-low voltage (ELV), LV and high currents, including: - arrangement of power distribution and circuits in electrical installations - parts of an electrical system and equipment that operate at LV and ELV, and, where high currents are likely
  • hazards, risks and control measures associated with disconnecting and reconnecting electrical equipment, including: - isolation and tagging-off procedures - alternate supplies (back-up supply and changeover switches)

Questions about assessing UEECD0016

What does an assessment tool for UEECD0016 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEECD0016 needs to address all 37 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 9 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for UEECD0016?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEECD0016 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for UEECD0016 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEECD0016 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of UEECD0016, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
