Determine work task outcomes and other requirements. Break the work task into its component tasks. Assess the component tasks to determine what needs to be done and how it is to be done. Estimate the time and the number of personnel required to complete each component task. Identify the tools and equipment required, including personal protective equipment (PPE) for each stage of the task. Plan the sequence of the component tasks in a logical order and to maximise efficient use of resources. Prepare a written work plan and a list of resources required to complete the overall work task
