As agreed in the creation of this Training Package, applications for units transferred from the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package will be developed as part of continuous improvement plans, and taking into account the change in Unit of Competency format as detailed in templates for Streamlined Training Packages.

This unit covers the competency required to erect, operate and dismantle a mobile field shower system to maintain personnel hygiene in a field environment.

It involves correctly assembling, conducting cleaning cycles, changing filters and preparing the shower unit for transportation and storage.

The operator will normally operate as a member of a team.

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