Ten concept and evidence figures

BAS-106 Visual Aid Library

Figure-use rule

Each figure is an orientation and reasoning aid, not a project drawing. Learners must pair it with the current sequence, point list, wiring/piping documents, manufacturer instructions, and as-found evidence.

Figure 1 — Safety responsibility, authority, stop work and professional conduct critical

Normal-rule anchor

Schedule pressure, seniority, or past practice never overrides a required control or qualification boundary.

Case overlay

A lead asks a new installer to continue above a ceiling after discovering unidentified energized conductors.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate checklist/authorization coverage, unresolved critical items, communication timing, and readiness; critical gaps are conjunctive holds.

Figure 2 — Hazard recognition and hierarchy of controls critical

Normal-rule anchor

PPE is important but usually the last control layer; changed conditions require reassessment.

Case overlay

A planned low-voltage pull now crosses active demolition and overhead work.

Calculation/evidence callout: Use supplied risk matrix, rank controls, calculate residual risk and exposure duration, and identify stop thresholds.

Figure 3 — PPE, clothing, tools and inspection limits critical

Normal-rule anchor

Owning or wearing equipment does not authorize a task; selection, condition, rating, fit, training, and procedure all matter.

Case overlay

Safety glasses are worn, but a damaged drill and wrong ladder are selected for overhead panel mounting.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate inspection coverage, defect rate, due dates, and task-control completeness.

Figure 4 — Walking-working surfaces, ladders, lifts and fall hazards critical

Normal-rule anchor

A ladder is not a universal access solution, and ceiling systems/other trades are not work platforms or supports.

Case overlay

A controller is above a crowded ceiling where the ladder cannot be fully opened and people pass below.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate working height/reach from supplied criteria, setup clearance, exclusion area, load, and inspection/readiness coverage.

Figure 5 — Electrical, hazardous energy and stored-energy awareness critical

Normal-rule anchor

A BAS stop command, disconnect indication, or zero graphic value is not energy isolation or verification.

Case overlay

A fan is off from the BAS, but the VFD, control transformer, rotating assembly, and damper spring remain energy sources.

Calculation/evidence callout: Inventory energy sources, calculate authorization/control coverage, and interpret supplied zero-energy verification records without performing them.

Figure 6 — Roofs, mechanical rooms, ceilings and environmental hazards critical

Normal-rule anchor

Mechanical spaces and ceilings contain overlapping hazards that cannot be inferred from low-voltage scope.

Case overlay

A roof sensor task adds wind, heat stress, unprotected edge proximity, and a locked access route.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate heat/work-rest or exposure examples from supplied employer criteria, distances, hydration quantities, and risk-control coverage.

Figure 7 — Material handling, drilling, penetrations, firestopping and housekeeping critical

Normal-rule anchor

A small cable hole can affect structure, fire/smoke assembly, utilities, infection/dust control, and owner operations.

Case overlay

An installer prepares to drill a rated wall using a generic sealant and no scan or approved detail.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate load/team handling from supplied limits, material quantities, penetration count, cleanup coverage, and restoration readiness.

Figure 8 — Communication, coordination, privacy and secure remote work critical

Normal-rule anchor

A remote session is still jobsite work: approved target/action/time, identity, impact, stop, rollback, and verified closure are required.

Case overlay

A trainee receives shared credentials to a live controller while another trade is testing equipment.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate communication/owner coverage, session duration, access scope, open-session/credential exposure, and closeout completeness.

Figure 9 — Emergency response, incident, near miss and first actions critical

Normal-rule anchor

Protect people and summon the correct response before troubleshooting, cleanup, or blame; do not exceed training.

Case overlay

A coworker receives a shock and falls from a ladder near energized equipment.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate response/reporting timeline from supplied criteria, account for people, and score factual record/control follow-up coverage.

Figure 10 — OJL authorization, restoration and safety defense critical

Normal-rule anchor

A high online score cannot grant field authority; physical competence and site authorization are separately observed and recorded.

Case overlay

A learner passes every quiz but has never demonstrated ladder setup, tool control, or field stop-work behavior.

Calculation/evidence callout: Calculate evidence/observation coverage, recency, critical-gap holds, restoration inventory, and supervisor-signoff completeness.
