What must technicians complete before performing any tasks?

Technicians must complete both initial training and skills assessment, as well as a written training and assessment procedure before performing any tasks to ensure they are fully equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills. This comprehensive approach helps to maintain high standards of safety and professionalism within the field. Initial training provides the foundational knowledge and understanding of the tasks involved, while the skills assessment confirms that the technician is competent to perform these tasks competently. The requirement for a written training and assessment procedure further reinforces accountability and standardizes the training process, ensuring that all technicians are evaluated against the same criteria. This thorough preparation is critical in upholding the integrity and effectiveness of the operations they will be conducting.
