Standard 1 for Accredited Courses

Successful completion of this course will provide participants who meet the course entrance requirements as described in Section 5.1 with knowledge and skills required to safely comply with relevant

State or Territory regulatory agencies/bodies, local government legislation, Industry Guidelines/Codes of Practices or other related requirements while inspecting and treating poles and inspecting live electrical apparatus.

Standards 1and 2 for Accredited Courses

3 Development of the course

3.1 Industry/enterprise/ community needs

The Victorian Electrical Supply Industry (ESI) has for many years recruited Asset Inspectors from the broader community. As a consequence, and in general, those recruited have not held formal

ESI qualifications, or had relevant ESI experience.

In addition, the major distribution companies have moved to outsource the work of an Asset Inspector to private contractors, and as such have entered into contracts that in part request that the outsource contractor undertakes the appropriate training of its own

Asset Inspectors.

The outsourcing of Asset Inspector labour is also taking place in some other Australian States/Territories, in a similar fashion to that which has occurred in Victoria.

For its part, the EE-Oz Training Standards, on or about the year

2005, attempted to develop a National ESI Certificate II in Asset

Inspection qualification, that would suit the requirements of all

Australian ESI companies. Unfortunately, for a range of reasons, the qualification failed to materialise.

In Victoria there are a number of private companies that recruit Asset

Inspectors, with each company bearing the responsibility for the training and assessment of each inspector. Without seeking to quantify the extent and quality of the training and assessment outcomes provided by each company, it has come to the notice of the industry that there is not a consistent approach to the training and assessment of Asset Inspectors.



As a consequence, the EPIC ITB was approached in May 2010 to facilitate a process for developing a set of competencies that would provide an ESI approved course of training that would standardise the competencies required of an Asset Inspector. For its part, the

ESI has undertaken an extensive review of the skills and knowledge required of an Asset Inspector, and in collaboration with affected stakeholders, has developed the Certificate II in Asset Inspection.

As a component of the collaborative approach to the exercise, the

EPIC ITB has brought together the Electrical Regulator, the ESI

Distribution companies, the private companies that employ the Asset

Inspectors, and the workforce employer/employee representative organisations, NECA and the ETU.

In addition, the EPIC ITB has fully consulted with EE-Oz training standards and the Curriculum Maintenance Manager.

The Certificate II in Asset Inspection course is intended to up-skill existing Asset Inspectors to perform the inspection and treatment of poles and the inspection of live electrical apparatus.

Section 98 of the Electricity Safety Act 1998 requires the Distribution

Companies to maintain their supply network to minimise as far as practicable the hazards and risks to the safety of any person and the property of any person from its supply network. To ensure that the

Distribution Companies comply with their requirements under the Act, they must ensure their asset inspectors have:

 been properly trained in the safety aspects and limitations in relation to the inspection and treatment of poles and the inspection of live electrical apparatus.

The Bushfire Royal Commissio n’s, recommendation 29 states that; -

The State (through Energy Safe Victoria) require distribution business to review and modify their current practices, standards and procedures for the training and auditing of asset inspectors to ensure that registered training organisations provide adequate theoretical and practical training for asset inspectors.

It is anticipated that approximately 135 people will initially need to receive the Asset Inspection training. This will be made up of about

120 existing employees and 15 new entrants to the industry.

Thereafter, it is anticipated that 20-30 people will have to be trained annually to cope with normal attrition from the industry.

Initial consultations between The Electrotechnology, Printing,

Information Technology and Communications (EPIC) Industry

Training Board and industry representatives produced a summary of the competencies required by Asset Inspectors as per the meeting minutes (see Appendix 1).

These were validated by site visits and discussions with Asset

Inspectors in the field (see Appendix 2).



There are no equivalent units of competence to determine if any existing units met the requirements (see Appendix 3).

A Project Steering Committee (PSC) was formed to oversee the development of the course. The membership of the PSC was as follows:

6 Assessment

6.1 Assessment strategy


All assessment must be consistent with the requirements of

Australian Quality Training Framework; Essential Conditions and

Standards for Initial Registration/Australian Quality Training

Framework, Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing

Registration.

Assessment procedures for this course must be developed to simulate the real workplace environment, as closely as possible.

The assessment of the imported units of competency must be consistent with the requirements of the relevant Training

Packages, and will also include RPL/RCC processes.

Course providers will be required to adopt an assessment strategy that:

 incorporates continual feedback of individual progress toward, and achievement of competencies;

 addresses skills, attitudes and knowledge underpinning performance appropriate to the workplace;

 gathers sufficient evidence to judge achievement of progress towards determining competence;

 utilises a variety of different processes/sources, e.g. written, oral, observation in role-plays, projects;

 recognises achievement of elements/competencies regardless


Accreditation Submission: 22109VIC Certificate II in Asset Inspection of where the enabling learning took place (RPL);

 fosters a collaborative and co-operative relationship between the learner and assessor;

 is flexible in regard to the range and type of evidence provided by the learner;

 provides opportunity for the learner to challenge assessment provisions and participate in re-assessment;

 is equitable and fair to all learners;

 does not unnecessarily restrict the progress of a learner through the course;

 adapts assessment tools to suit the needs of particular clients or client groups (e.g. clients with special needs).

Approaches to assessment require data to be reliably gathered in a form that can be consistently developed and interpreted over time.

However, where summative (or final) assessment is used it is to include the application of the competency in the normal work environment or, at a minimum, the application of the competency in a realistically simulated work environment. It is recognised that, in some circumstances, assessment in part or full can occur outside the workplace. However, it must be in accord with Industry and, Regulatory policy in this regard.

Where appropriate a holistic assessment strategy and method may be used to assess a range of units of competency. The assessment of the imported units should comply with the relevant

Training Package Assessment Guidelines

Assessment methods may include (but are not restricted to):

 workplace projects and /or assignments

 practical application and demonstration of skills

 research assignments/projects

 written / verbal tests

The opportunity for learners to negotiate the form of assessment is also possible in many cases, e.g. alternative assessments for learners with special needs.

6.2 Assessor competencies


The requirements for staff involved in assessment are stated in

Standard 1.4 of the Australian Quality Training Framework;

Essential Conditions and Standards for Initial Registration/

Australian Quality Training Framework Essential Conditions and

Standards for Continuing Registration.

Assessment must be conducted by persons who have:

 the following competencies from the Training and Assessment

Training Package – TAE10 , or demonstrated equivalent competencies:



(i) TAEASS401A Plan assessment activities and processes

(ii) TAEASS402A Assess competence

(iii) TAEASS403A Participate in assessment validation and

 relevant vocational competencies, at least to the level being assessed.

 However, if a person does not meet all the requirements to conduct assessment, one person with the competencies listed above and one or more persons who have the relevant vocational competencies may work together to conduct assessment.

7 Delivery

7.1 Delivery modes


Training has been designed to be delivered full-time or part-time in a flexible mode, if required.

Other delivery mode examples include:

 classroom delivery

 practical work

 case study analysis

 role-plays

 guest speakers

It is recommended that the course be conducted using workplace delivery and assessment methods to maximise opportunities for learners to have learning experiences, which are as close as possible to a real workplace environment.

Units of competency may be contextualised to meet the needs of different groups of students. Generally this means:



Elements and associated performance criteria must not be altered in any way;



The Range Statement may be expanded as long as it does not increase the complexity of the unit



The Evidence Guide may be expanded as long as it retains the integrity of the unit and does not jeopardise the student ’s potential to achieve the competency.



Learning and assessment resources may be tailored to the specific needs of the target group, while maintaining their validity

Contextualisation of any of the endorsed imported units of competency must be consistent with the guidelines of the relevant

Training Package

7.2 Resources




The minimum list of resources needed to conduct the courses includes:

 classrooms and lecture theatres, as appropriate;

 access to a real or simulated electrical workplace environment

 case studies;

 workplace resources, such as relevant codes and reporting documentation

 enterprise Asset Inspection procedures manuals

 ‘Code of practice for work on or near high voltage electrical apparatus ’ – The Blue Book;

 ‘Code of practice on electrical safety for distribution businesses in the Victorian Electrical Supply Industry ’ – The Green Book

Qualifications of Trainers

The requirements for trainer qualifications for those involved in training delivery are stated in Element 1.4 of Standard 1 of the

AQTF: Essential Standards for Continuing Registration.

A trainer must:

 must hold the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment -

TAE40110 from the Training and Education Training Package

(TAE10), or be able to demonstrate equivalent competencies; or

 be under the direct supervision of a person who holds the

TAE40110 - Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification, or its equivalent; and

 be able to demonstrate vocational competencies, at least to the level of those being delivered.

Trainers for any of the endorsed units of competency that have been imported must reflect the requirements for trainers specified in the relevant Training Package.

2. Welcome

Alex Frazer opened the meeting and provided an overview of EPIC ITB to memb er’s present. It was noted that EE-Oz had been invited to attend the meeting.

3. Purpose/Scope of the Steering Committee

A brief history of the Certificate II was provided to members – a Certific ate II in Pole

Inspection had been developed in 1993/1994 as a national qualification but had not been supported by the other State and Territories.

EPIC ITB has been asked to revisit the qualification and to develop a Certificate II Asset

Inspection. The VESI Council agreed to the establishment of the Cert II Asset Inspection

Steering Committee to establish whether there is a need by industry or not. It will be


Accreditation Submission: 22109VIC Certificate II in Asset Inspection industry ’s decision whether the Certificate II is a standalone qualification or dovetails into a

Certificate III.

It was further noted that any stakeholder agreement made at this Steering Committee will go back to the VESI Council for confirmation.

The Certificate II will be developed as a Victorian qualification and will go onto the NTIS when developed. Government funding will be available to all Victorian RT O’s delivering the qualification.

Greg Arnett noted that the Certificate II may not cover the Asset Inspection requirements for Trams and Rail. The Rail sector will need to determine its relevance for that industry.

George Adda provided an overview on the development of the qualification and the

Victorian accreditation process. The qualification could be developed as a Certificate II or as a Course in Asset Inspection. The duration of the accreditation could be 3 – 5 years.

As part of the accreditation process, Skills Victoria would contact EPIC ITB to see is there is an equivalent national qualification. Alex Frazer reported that EE-Oz has already been contacted, as there is no national qualification, EE-Oz are happy to support the development of the qualification and will provide a letter of support to EPIC ITB if required.

It was noted that Skills Victoria will not support the funding of Skills Sets, if the industry requires this.

Discussion followed on the type of asset inspection qualifications were being delivered by

UAM and Electrix. Maurie Braden spoke to the in-house training being undertaken by

Ergon Energy and the material that could be made available to the Ste ering Committee.

It was further noted that the Distribution companies may have material on asset inspection that could be used also.

3.2 Formation of Working Group (agenda item brought forward until Petter Bell, Electrix arrives)

The scope of the working group is to;

- develop the technical content of the qualification as per the requirements of the

Steering Committee;

- develop the Certificate II in Asset Inspection

All work undertaken by the working group is to be validated by the Steering Committee

The duration of the Certificate II is 360 hours. It was noted that for the qualification to be accepted nationally, the new rules for qualifications will have to be incorporated when developing the qualification.

To assist with the writing f the qualification/units, Vic Camilleri was nominated a d accepted by the Steering Committee to be invited as the writer. If accepted, Vic Camilleri would also represent EE-Oz.

It was agreed that the members of the working group include:

- EPIC ITB (Alex Frazer)

- ETU (Greg Arnett)

- NECA (Peter Bell)

- Distribution Company (Gerard Cooke or Tony Veling)

- Regulator (Bruce Cutler or Warren Knop)

- RTO (Mick De Graaff)



- EE-Oz (Vic Camilleri)

ACTION

It was agreed that the Working Group meet on the 19 th

March 2010 at 10:00am.

3.1 Presentation by Peter Ball, Electrix

Peter Bell provided an overview of the original proposal to develop a Certificate II in Asset

Inspection and the work undertaken with Cath Stevens.

Greg Arnett recommended that the Steering Committee look at all options and then make a decision ensuring that the Certificate II is a standalone qualification and not a pathway.

4. Other Business

It was agreed that Maurie Braden and Peter Bell provide a list of topics currently being delivered by UAM and Electrix for the Working Group to review.

Peter Bell spoke to the various options previously looked at in developing the Certificate II.

It was noted that the working group will need to identify what an asset inspector does.

Peter Bell tabled a current job descriptor for mem ber’s information.

Alex Frazer provided an overview on the construction of units of compe tency. Discussion followed on the selection of core and elective units.

Gerard Cooke queried the funding for the development of the Certificate II qualification.

Alex Frazer noted that the VESI Council had approved the funding of the qualification by

EPIC, but funding from Skills Victoria may also be sourced. Gerard Cooke offered a letter of support from SP-Ausnet if required.

5. Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Steering Committee is scheduled for Thursda y 13 th

May 2010 at

10:00am.

There being no further business, the meeting closed at 1:2 pm.

2. Minutes of the Previous Meeting – 9 th

March 2010

The minutes of the previous meeting (9 th

March 2010) were received.

3. EPIC Site Visits

Alex Frazer introduced John Coburn as the consultant who will be undertaking the development of the Certificate II in Asset Inspection. Feedback on the material tabled at the meeting can be forward to jcoburn@epicitb.com

Site visits report with employees from Electrix – Sites visited in St Kilda and Woodend on 15

April 2010 were tabled for me mber’s discussion and feedback. th



Alex Frazer spoke to the site visits and queried whether there is a requirement for inspectors to dig and clear the area around the pole. John Costolloe, SP-Ausnet noted that as per the

SP-Ausnet manual, an inspector would be required to dig around poles after a specific age (10

– 20 years – each of SP-Ausnet’s poles are age tag ed). Poles erected in concrete would not be dug around. The SP-Ausnet manual which outlines the company ’s procedure would be made available to John Coburn.

It was noted that Councils have different specifications for digging around poles.

It was agreed that the training should include being taught how to dig around poles. But the necessity for digging will be determined by the Companies.

For regional site visits, inspectors work in pairs but it was noted that there were some communications issues. Discussion followed that some businesses use single man crews but that all crews whether in pairs or single could have the potential for a communications issue. It was noted that backup plans and the use of improved devices (EPIRBS) has improved this issue. It was agreed that inspectors will need to be trained for dealing with both country and city pole inspections as inspectors could be rotated between both areas.

Inspectors have a fair idea of what was on the top of the poles; they are able to recognize but not know the purpose of particular pieces of equipment. There was positive feedback from the inspectors that they would prefer more training/information on what was on top of the poles.

It was noted that on pg 2 of the site visit document. The modified screwdriver is a special screwdriver designed for inspection.

It was noted that training on where sticks go would be an elective and dep endent upon the

Company.

Discussion followed on the use of photography within the inspection. John Costolloe spoke to the photo process undertaken by SP-Ausnet/Jemena.

It was agreed that the utilization of photo equipment should be included as an elective.

Peter Bell spoke to the priority of defects and the training to make inspectors aware of the severity of defects. The Companies can determine the processes for dealing with defects.

It was queried whether the pole inspectors role should be full asset inspec tion or just pole inspection. This again would be determined by the Companies.

It was agreed that the training should cover the basics and include customer service skills as an elective also.

Maurie Braden spoke to Ergon Energy who has a higher level of inspection which includes surveying. It was noted that a possible elective for additional higher level of training could be included.

It was agreed that UAN and Electrix review the Site Inspection visits to identify if anything is missing in the inspection process.


4.1 Skills Victoria

Alex Frazer reported that Skills Victoria have been contacted regarding the development of the

Certificate II in Asset Inspection. An email between Anne Newton, Skills Victoria and Alex



Frazer, EPIC ITB was tabled to members, noting that the request for funding is being processed. Klaus Bienert, CMM noted that contact may need to be made directly with either

John Stapleton or Luke Behncke, Skills Victoria to speed up the process.

It was noted that letters of support from the Distribution Companies and ESV may be needed to show industry support for the qualification. Bruce Cutler, ESV noted that a letter from ESV has already been forwarded to Anne Newton.

It was agreed that letters of support from the Distribution Companies requesting the urgency for the Course be forwarded to Skills Victoria.

4.2 EE-Oz

EE-Oz has agreed to forward a copy of the national template for writing qualifications to EPIC

ITB. The National units will be used but the pre-requisite chain will be removed and a Victorian code will be used.

4.3 Certificate II in ESI - Asset Inspection Draft Qualification

A draft qualification was tabled for memb er’s information and discussion. The qualification currently consists of 5 core units and a list of 14 electives which are to be determined by the

Committee.

The current Core units are:



UEENEEE001B



UETTDREL03B



UETTDREL04B



UEENEEK042A



UETTDRDP01A and UETTDRIS17A – the two units are to be combined

A Certificate II Asset Inspector profiling card was proposed. Discussion followed on the option of a profiling card or the use o a log book. It was noted that the log book w ould be the preference but this could be tailored to go into profiling also. Profiling is still to be determined.

A discussion of the list of electives followed with the following determinations (highlighted in red):

The minutes of the previous meeting (21 st

July 2010

July 2010) were received.

Moved: Greg Arnett

Seconded: Gerard Cooke


Alex Frazer went through the action items which have all been completed.

8. Accreditation Documentation

John Coburn tabled the Accreditation Documentation and reviewed sections A & B with members. Section C lists the units which have been reviewed and endors ed by members.

Section A: General Informat on

Copyright owner of the course

Copyright

– The course is listed as Crown Copyright, which will provide government f and allow all States to access the course through the NTIS. nding

Copyright acknowledgement

The copyright acknowledgement notes that any changes or variations that an RTO wishes to make to the units, the changes must come back to the Certificate II Asset Inspection Steering

Committee for authorization. Any changes to the Core would require new accreditation.

Electives can be added at any time.

It was questioned whether a 5 year accreditation can be changed if a National course comes into effect?

It was noted that the Victorian Course can expire if replaced by a National course.

Gerard Cooke noted that other Companies in other States are looking to run this course, which may put the pressure on EE-Oz to take over the course. Victoria may need to be more pro-active in its membership on NTAG to ensure that the qualification is not ‘bastardised’.

It was questioned whether the accreditation of the qualification will affect the Certificate III. In response, there is very little RPL against the Certificate III. The course was developed with it not being a pre-requisite or providing a pathway to a higher level qualification, although some units could be RPL.

The documentation acknowledges the units from other Training Packages used.

ACTION

It was noted that the MEM05 units are incorrectly numbered and need updating.

AVETMISS information

AVETMISS information is listed which identifies the occupation and industr y codes which are used for ABS data.

Period of accreditation

The period of accreditation is 1 st

July 2010 to 30 th

June 2015. For the purposes of RPL the accreditation has been started now.

Gerard Cooke noted that they are looking for an organisation to enroll the candidates this year to start the RPL process and training before the next fire season. It was no ted that RTOs need to demonstrate that they have the resources to deliver and to be compliant, to be compliant the course needs to be accredited. RTOs will be able to enroll as soon as the course is accredited.



Once the course is accredited, VRQA will put the course onto the NTIS. It will also go onto the

Training Support Network.


Industry/enterprise/community needs

George Adda questioned the Order-in-Council and whether there is one in regards to the industry needs for the course.

It was noted that the VESI Council minutes states the need for the Course development.

ACTION

That the minutes of the VESI Council be added to the accreditation documentation.

Discussion followed on the relevant ‘order-in-council’. It was noted that there are new safety management regulations that all under the Electricity Safety Act 1998. It w as agreed that the

‘relevant Order-in-Council’ be replaced with the Electricity Safety Act 1998,, Part 10, Clause

118 and Clause 98.

ACTION

Bruce Cutler, ESV to provide the correct wording to replace the relevant ‘order-in- council ’.

Peter Bell also noted that Recommendation 29 from the Royal Commission should also be added:

RECOMMENDATION 29 - The State (through Energy Safe Victoria) require distribution businesses to review and modify their current practices, standards and procedures for the training and auditing of asset inspectors to ensure that registered training organisations provide adequate theoretical and practical training for asset inspectors.

It was noted that the Project Steering Committee list be updated.

ACTION

All letters of support for the qualification are to be forwarded to John Coburn on jcoburn@epicitb.com

George Adda spoke to the packaging rules for the core and electives. The new codes have been renumbered to AI001A / AI002A / AI003A / AI004A and AI005A.

George Adda tabled the document ‘What is the Credit Matrix?’ and provided an overview to members. Discussion followed on the number of electives required. It was noted that most of the Companies will be selecting 3 electives and sho funding for the electives required. ld therefore try to seek government

The increase to 3 electives would increase the course nominal hours to 320-360 hours.

Gerard Cooke noted that an industry group outside this meeting will be hel d for companies to discuss what units they will want inspectors to be trained in.

MOTION

The Committee agreed that the course be changed to include 3 electives and increase in the nominal duration of up to 360 hours.

All in favour

Carried

The pole inspectors are provided with an area for which the poles are to be inspected. The details of each pole in the inspection area are provided to the inspection crew via a PDA ( palm top computer). The details include the pole location, type of pole and a list of the equipment to be found on the pole.

The PDA also provides the inspectors with step by step inspection required for each pole.

Prior to commencing a pole inspection the inspectors are required to undertake a risk assessment and erect traffic control and pedestrian warning signs and barricades.

Pole Inspection / Treatment - Base



Dig around the poles to a depth of 300mm – when the poles are in the footpath or other hard stand materials, clearing the area around the base of the pole involves the use of either an electric Jack Hammer or concrete saw to cut through the finished surface material.

In regional areas, the inspectors are required to use a brush cutter to clear vegetation from around the base of the pole prior to any inspection taking plac e.



When digging around the base of poles in lawn or other non finished surface, a Jack

Hammer is used to break the surface to allow for easy digging around the pole base.



The soil is removed from around the base of the pole to enable the inspection and treatment of the pole base of the pole.

Timber pole checks include checking for:

- Termites / borers

- Hole score (number of drilled holes around the base of the Pole) using a Pole scoring disc

- Pole diameter using a calliper

- Rot - the amount of good wood remaining (taking into account the various types of wood – i.e. Messmate, Tallow Wood, Stringy Bark, Iron Bark, etc – each vehicle has an operations manual that contains a full list of the various types of timber poles and the durability class)

In checking for the amount of good wood, the inspector “chips” around the base of the pole (below ground level) using a tomahawk, as well as dril ling approximately

100mm into the base of the base of the pole (below ground level and again above ground level) using a 20mm auger bit. The holes ar inspected using a m dified screw driver with graduation



- Pole cracks, using a ruler / tape measure to measure the width of the cracks if any are found

Treatment includes:



Inserting sticks of Presswood preservatives into the holes that were bored as part of the inspection process

Other pole (concrete / steel ) checks include checking for:



Pole cracks



Deterioration



Rust

Pole Inspection - Top



Pole top inspection include:

- A visual inspection of all the equipment mounted on the pole including (but not limited to): SWER, HV and LV wires, deadend helicals, insulators, cross arms, cross arm mountings and brackets, switches, HV fuses and fuse carriers, transformers , sub stations, serge diverters, EDAs, auto reclose relays, possum guards, earth guards, LV under grounds, angle of the pole, bolts and fixin s

Inspections are undertaken using a set of stabilised binoculars to visually inspect the pole and all the equipment mounted on it, a pole top camera to inspect the top of the cross arms nd equipment mounted on the cross arms, a pitch angle gauge to measure the lean of the pole.

Other Inspections


