Issue Date: May 2024
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 use power tools in an underwater environment. This includes the operation (from the surface) of the compressor.
The unit also includes selecting appropriate tools for the work task, inspecting them for serviceability and correctly operating the tools, with particular attention to safety.
Competence will need to be demonstrated in the surface operation of the compressor.
The diver will be responsible for the recovery of any wastes arising from the work task to ensure the preservation of the environment. Finally, the tools (and compressor) must be de serviced and stored appropriately for ongoing use.
Note: This Unit of Competency relates, in part, to the existing standards of the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS). All information was correct at the time of development of this Unit of Competency; however, any diver seeking ADAS accreditation should consult ADAS and not rely on the information contained in this unit.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
