 EVALUATION AND ACCREDITATION STANDARDS

Preface

The standards for the physical facilities, machines, tools and other equipment for the
Electrical Installation training programme are derived from the work functions and tasks
generated from a comprehensive study of the occupational area.

The work functions and tasks were obtained from (a) the worker behaviour; (b) the
facilities, machines, tools, other equipment, and materials used to complete the job; and
(c) the knowledge and skills required to perform the job.

The goals of the Electrical Installation training programme would best be realized at the
workplace, but in order to meet the need for timely and efficient training while avoiding
costly disruptions and the installation of non-productive facilities, training is mainly
conducted outside of the workplace. It is therefore the responsibility of programme
sponsors and facilitators to ensure that the physical facilities and equipment provided
for training closely match that which obtains in an effective and efficient work
environment.

For the Electrical Installation training programme, a current list of functions, which
represent the duties and tasks of this occupational area was used as the basis for
determining the facilities, equipment and work environment requirements for training.
This information also provides the standards for the purposes of evaluation and
accreditation for the training programme.

Description of Programme

The facilities standards specifications seek to provide consistent guidelines, which

various constituents will be able to use as a benchmark to determine the required
standards for skills development in the Electrical Installation programme. The
standards specifications provide information on the basic physical requirements of the
workshop; the machines, tools, and general equipment necessary to facilitate the
effective operation of the shop; and the operational support entities, which include
lighting, ventilation, safety, power and water.

1
Facilities Standards Objectives

The objectives for the Electrical Installation Facilities Standards are as follows:

- Provide the standards, which will facilitate the evaluation process for workshop tools
and other equipment; the support facilities; and the operational requirements that
will allow for safe and effective performance by trainees.

- Provide a guide for facilities planners, designers and builders to design facilities,
construct buildings, and install equipment in accordance with established standards
that will allow for safe and effective operation of the workshop.

- Provide a guide for curriculum planners and programme instructors to design

learning activities that are consistent with the standards established for the physical
facilities and equipment.

- Provide administrators with a guide for identifying areas of deficiencies and

strengths of the training area.

- Provide a basis for standardizing the physical facilities, machines, tools and other
equipment that facilitate the training/learning process.

- Provide a basis for evaluating instructors' management and care of the workshop,
physical facilities, machines, tools and other equipment.

Assumptions Regarding Size of Training Group

- Trainees assigned to work station will require machines, tools and equipment to
perform training activities.

- Hand tools and portable equipment can be shared among trainees at a workstation,
even if they are assigned to work on different types of projects at the same time.

- Trainees do not all work at the same rate or pace; therefore, the need to have the
same number of commonly used tools for each person is unnecessary.

- Trainees are better able to share ideas and correct errors among themselves when
working as work units or as a team.

2
A maximum of four trainees will function more effectively as a work group or team
because research and experience has demonstrated that this size is consistent with the
most productive teams in a working or learning situation.

Basic Design Concept

The approach to training for the Electrical Installation will be based on the workstation
concept The essential idea is that a maximum of four (4) trainees will be located around
a workbench or workstation. This concept is consistent with the cell or team approach
used successfully by manufacturing type companies in Europe, North America and
Japan.

The main benefit of the workstation or team approach to training is that emphasizes and
supports the principles of cooperation, leadership, sharing responsibilities and task,
among others. It is these qualities that are central for a modern workforce to perform
effectively in a complex, decentralized and flexible work environment.

In order to maximize the benefits of the workstation concept trainees will be required to
work as teams in order to accomplish critical tasks and strengthen relational habits.
This would include the ordering of tools and materials from stores, the sharing of the
use of tools and equipment, the assigning of job responsibilities and the sharing of ideas
in regards to learning activities and problem solving. These are the practices and
behaviours, which closely match that which obtains in a modern and successful work
environment.

Another advantage of assigning trainees to work stations is that it fosters a more

efficient use of tools and equipment. That is, the regularly used tools and equipment
will be provided based on the size and needs of the work- station and not based on the
number of individuals in the group. In fact, the tools and equipment needs will be
reduced by approximately 30% or 40%, which would support the efforts of
administrators and planners to increase the benefits from our training programmes with
reduced resources.

Programme Limitations

At present, most facilities and equipment for Electrical Installation programmes are
already in place in the schools, training centres and academies. The majority of these
training institutions may not be able to meet the approved facilities and equipment
standards specifications at this time unless there is significant redesign or modification.

3
Nevertheless, specific changes can be made in order to meet certain requirements such
as lighting, ventilation, machine placement, tools and material storage, among others. It
is envisaged that given a specific plan of action to meet the required standards, most
programmes would be able to comply within a reasonable period of time.

The purchasing and assigning of tools and other equipment based on the work station
concept would limit the availability of these items for activities such as internal or
external examination. In addition, tools are constantly stolen, lost and damaged
therefore a replacement policy has to be implemented. A 10% inventory of the basic
hand tools and other equipment would adequately address this deficiency.

Non-Traditional Training Programme

Electrical Installation training programmes that are conducted in some production

oriented work environment may be lacking appropriate machines, tools, and other
equipment, which are considered vital for the purpose of accreditation. Limited or
partial accreditation may be granted for such facilities; however, persons being trained
under inadequate conditions must acquire the experience at a suitable location. Full
accreditation may be granted if the following can be demonstrated:

(a) The facilities and equipment requirements satisfy the conditions established for
accreditation.

(b) The facilities or equipment is located close to the training workshop, and they are
available to the training programme.

(c) The facilities or equipment are located outside the immediate work environment, but
are available for training upon request.

(d) There is proof that the skills can be acquired without the use of the machine or
facilities that are not in place.

(e) It is demonstrated that the facilities or equipment will be installed within a specific
time period

4
Programme Level

The basic physical facilities, tools and other equipment will essentially remain the same
for the more advanced levels of the electrical installation programme. Nevertheless, a
limited number of specialized tools will be required for Levels 11 and 111. In addition,
the workshop machines and other training equipment may have to be re-oriented in
order to facilitate production type learning activities.

In order to achieve greater skills development at the advanced levels of the electrical
installation programmes, a demonstrable increase in efficiency, quality management,
and the overall production of marketable goods or services must be central to the
training process.

The use of the workstation concept as a basis for training will continue for trainees at
the advanced levels, but individualized project activities would also be emphasized. It is
expected that training groups would become smaller as you move toward higher
programme levels. Workstations could now facilitate three or even two trainees instead
of the recommended four per workstation. Based on programme level, the following
training group size is recommended:

LEVEL TRAINING GROUP SIZE

1. Level I 18 to 24 trainees
2. Level II 15 to 20 trainees
3. Level III & above 10 to 16 trainees

It should be noted that as the size of the training group becomes smaller, even for
higher levels of training, the cost of delivering this and similar programmes becomes
prohibitive. It is therefore suggested that class size should be no less than ten trainees.

Workshop Layout

The workshop layout provides one approach for installing machines and other
equipment for the Electrical Installation programme. It emphasizes the basic principles
of shop layout such as providing (a) adequate walking area; (b) working space between
equipment; (c) storage facilities for tools, materials, and waste: and (d) properly
positioned machines. This layout is designed to accommodate twenty-four (24) trainees
and it will operate on the workstation or team basis. The space requirements will remain
basically the same for all groups. Therefore, to achieve the space requirement for
smaller groups, contraction has to take place in the storage areas and the number of
workstations.

One of the safety requirements for the workshop is the proper positioning and spacing
of machines and benches in order to ensure unobstructed working conditions for the

5
trainees. In addition, when long pieces of materials will be involved, enough space has
to be provided for unimpeded movement, especially if machining will be carried out.
The areas between the broken lines and the machines or benches represent the space
that should be free of obstructions at all times.

Storage Requirements

The planning of storage facilities for tools, materials, projects, and student personal
items is an integral part of the physical layout and programme organization. Carefully
planned storage should emphasize safety, conservation, and the effective use of space.
In addition, considerations should also be given to the programme levels and the
number of trainees that will be accommodated, which in turn will determine the space
requirements of each storage unit.

Electrical-Circuit Details

The electrical installation for the training area should be done in accordance with
established safety procedures, and only qualified personnel should be used to maintain
the electrical circuits and components. Electrical circuits and outlets should be properly
labelled and switches should be enclosed and protected from traffic. For each
stationary machine, the isolator may be located on the wall and properly labelled - this
improves on the aesthetic of the installation. (In some cases the isolators are affixed to
the machines). Portable power equipment has a ground wire, which prevents electrical
shock and the mechanical grounds are provided for all stationery equipment.
Emergency stop buttons, which shut down the power to all machines, should be placed
at strategic locations. This will allow easy access during emergency situations.

Only authorized persons should be allowed access to the circuit breaker panels. The
panels should be equipped with a lock on the outer door in order to restrict access by
unauthorized persons

6
Visual Comfort

Proper lighting is one of the elements, which assists to ameliorate the learning
environment. With an abundance of sunlight, every effort should be made to combine
the use of natural and artificial light. In a situation when the natural light is absent from
the workshop, adequate artificial light must be provided. The main factors which
determine the lighting requirements are (a) how much natural light is to be utilized, (b)
the type and arrangement of the electric light, and (c) the characteristics of the luminous
patterns, such as illumination level, brightness and glare. The use of fluorescent
fixtures for the artificial lighting has been demonstrated to be cost effective and should
be installed in workshops in order to provide the visual comfort for learning

Ventilation

In a climatic region where the normal temperature ranges between the upper 20 and
lower 30 degree Celsius, proper ventilation becomes an important condition to ensure a
safe and comfortable learning environment. In fact because little attention has been
given to the design of ceilings, which minimize the level of heat absorption in the
workshops, the temperature sometimes reaches as high as 35 degree Celsius,
especially during the summer. Every effort must be made to seal roofs, which are
constructed of metals, with materials that will prevent the easy absorption of the heat
from the sunlight. In addition, enough windows should be installed in order to allow for
the free flow of air through the workshop.

Plumbing Requirements

The plumbing facilities should cater for both trainees and instructors, and the cleaning
and maintenance schedule should be based on the frequency and level of use and not
necessarily on normal maintenance schedule for all facilities in the school or training
outfit. Adequate toilets, urinals, showers, and washbasins should be provided for all
users of the workshop, but separate facilities must be provided for female trainees. A
washbasin should be installed in the workshop for the washing of hands, etc., and a
water cooler installed outside the main door of the workshop

7
General Safety and First Aid

The organization of the training facilities should be based on sound safety principles.
This should allow for proper material flow, proper spacing between machines, and the
installation of safety guards on the machines. Promoting personal safety by requiring
the wearing of appropriate safety glasses, boots and clothing is essential for developing
proper safety attitudes.

The training area should have in place fire extinguishers at strategic locations, and
students should be instructed in their use, both in and out of the shop area. Trainees
should be presented with the safety rule handout, which outlines all general and specific
safety rules for the workshop and equipment. All trainees should be tested to determine
their knowledge of the safety rules and a pass mark of 80% or above should be
achieved before trainees are permitted to use the physical facilities and equipment. For
the purpose of minor accidents, a first-aid kit should be located in the workshop and
both instructors and trainees should be aware of its contents and their uses

In order to gain practical experience in construction, installation, trouble-shooting,

breakdown and planned preventative maintenance, an appropriate site has to be
prepared outside of the workshop. This will allow the trainees to conduct trouble-
shooting, fault finding, assembly and disassembly, repair and installation of appliances,
equipment, motors and machines in order to acquire applicable and operational skills in
an environment similar to that which obtains at a real worksite.
