Reinstating the work area on completion of activities

This standard identifies the competences you need to reinstate the work area, in accordance with approved procedures. You will be required to follow the correct procedures for the safe storage of finished products and surplus materials and to correctly identify and separate all waste materials and ensure that they are removed to their designated locations. You will also need to ensure that all tools, equipment and documents used are accounted for and returned to the appropriate places. Tidying of the work area will be of prime importance and includes office and clean working area environments, workshops, staging and platforms, internal areas of aircraft such as wings, tanks and fuselage sections and areas that are airside.

Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for the activities undertaken and to report any problems with the reinstatement activities that you cannot personally resolve, or that are outside your permitted authority, to the relevant people. You will be expected to work with a minimum of supervision, taking personal responsibility for your own actions and for the quality of the work you carry out.

Your underpinning knowledge will provide a good understanding of your work and provide an informed approach to applying the required procedures. You will understand the need for reinstating the work areas and will know about the storage requirements of the products, equipment, materials, documentation and consumables, in adequate depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities to the required standard and ensuring that the work area is reinstated satisfactorily.

You will understand the safety precautions required when reinstating the work area. You will be required to demonstrate safe working practices throughout and will understand the responsibility you owe to yourself and others in the workplace.

5. the personal protective clothing and equipment (PPE) to be worn and where this can be obtained
6. why work areas need to be restored to a set standard and what these requirements are
7. the types of work area that will need to be restored (such as office environments, computer aided design (CAD) environment, technical/clean room environment, workshops, test areas, stages and platforms and aircraft areas such as wing, tank, fuselage, airside section areas)
8. the importance of tool and equipment control and why this is critical within the aerospace industry
9. the meaning of `foreign object debris' and why it is vital to ensure that this does not occur or is removed
10. the stores procedures for tools and equipment, documentation and surplus or waste materials
11. the materials that will need to be stored and disposed of and why they need to be segregated, correctly identified and labelled
12. how the various disposal bins can be identified (such as colour coded, labelled)
13. the procedures for disposing of hazardous materials (such as chemicals, adhesives, oil, hydraulic fluids, fuel)
14. documentation to be used on completion of reinstatement
15. the extent of your own responsibility and to whom you should report if you have problems that you cannot resolve
