Plan close proximity fireworks displays

Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan close proximity fireworks displays based on client briefs.

Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for planning and designing displays based on client briefs and ensuring that persons involved in displays are properly trained. They may be responsible for supervising others.

All elements must be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of relevant state or territory legislation and licensing requirements.

Achievement of this unit does not automatically qualify a person to obtain a licence to operate in any Australian State or Territory.

Those developing training to support this unit, and those seeking to assess competency in this unit, must consult with the relevant state or territory licensing authority, and work within the requirements and guidelines set down by those authorities.

This unit is closely based on work completed by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

identify fireworks that are faulty or not quality assured

develop:

a safety management system that includes operational and emergency procedures

organisational policy in relation to close proximity fireworks displays

implement:

a quality system for providing fireworks displays

organisational procedures for purchasing, transporting, storing and handling fireworks

negotiate with clients about requirements for close proximity fireworks displays.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

provide examples of issues and challenges that typically arise when planning close proximity fireworks displays, along with solutions to address them

describe issues that need to be addressed in safety management systems

describe current industry practices that must be considered when operating close proximity fireworks displays

describe the main issues addressed in state or territory codes of practice in relation to risk and systems management

explain legislative requirements in relation to purchasing, transporting, storing and handling fireworks

explain licensing requirements that relate to the operation of fireworks displays

explain public liability and workers’ compensation requirements in relation to operating fireworks displays

explain legislative requirements in relation to planning, designing and obtaining approval for conducting fireworks displays

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

access to:

relevant legislative, administrative, and specific technical material and prescribed forms and documents

a set of client needs to develop a fireworks display brief

a typical client brief for planning a fireworks display

practical demonstration of skills in a range of situations.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Significant health and safety issues impact on the delivery and assessment of skills in close proximity pyrotechnics. Assessment of these skills must therefore be undertaken in consultation with state or territory licensing authorities.

Assessors must be aware of, and consult with authorities on matters regarding, safety of personnel, safety of crowds and spectators, storage and transportation of pyrotechnic materials, and risks associated with venue conditions.

Assessors may need to meet additional requirements where stipulated by state or territory regulations.
