  • validate the contents of the occupational standard in full,
  • validate the contents of the occupational standard in part and define the knowledge, skills and competence to be verified,

  • The rules on occupational health and safety in this type of work, as well as fire prevention safety,
  • The camera operator’s contribution to the visualisation of the AV-work in which they took part.
