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 conduct non-technical structural inspections such as examining bridges, piers or ships' hulls.

The unit includes general qualitative inspection (visual and manual) as well as quantitative analysis such as the taking of basic measurements including angles, dimensions and lengths.

Note: Elements of this assessment are aligned with 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)

DEFDV001B Dive using self-contained underwater breathing apparatus in open water to 30 metres.

This unit contains employability skills.

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to assist in providing information for an inspection report; to carry and secure the equipment throughout the dive; and to work safely throughout the operation. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated conducting an inspection task requiring angular and linear measurements on one of the following: pier/bridge – assessment is to be constructed around the examination of an existing pier/bridge requiring some expedient reinforcement to make fit for operational use ship’s hull – assessment is to be constructed around a sonar dome housing inspection and poker/feeler gauge surveys.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the ocean supported by questioning on shore or aboard vessels. When practicable, assessment should relate to the diver’s vocational focus. Assessment should be conducted over a time frame that allows for the safe demonstration of competency. Specific resources for assessment Access to a complete range of diving, safety and accessory equipment; and inspection equipment.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

ability to dive make oral presentations make underwater field notes and sketches measure instruments take photographs write reports

Required Knowledge

basic architecture of piers and bridges basic mechanics dive physics dive equipment general occupational/diving safety awareness oceanography relevant references and Australian Standards work hazards

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.
Target may include:	buried treasure ships including: general hull integrity specific examination of critical components (e.g. rudder, sonar, intakes etc.) sub-structures including: cabling intakes (e.g. dams) jetties pipelines rigs/platforms sunken conveyances: vehicles vessels
Worksite data may include :	current depth gradient hazards obstacles temperature
Inspection equipment may include:	angle measurement devices: poker gauge feeler gauge tape measures
Action to remove/reduce the risk may include:	erecting signage using patrol/sentry craft
Visual imagery may include:	hard wired video still underwater camera
Report may include:	imagery oral presentation scaled drawings sketches supporting documents

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Inspection task, target and available worksite data are determined and analysed.
Inspection plan is developed consistent with the dive plan.
Inspection equipment is selected, inspected and prepared.
Inspection equipment is secured safely to/from the dive site.
Access obstructions and other hazards are assessed and actionis taken to remove/reduce the risk.
Inspection equipment is secured on self for ease of accessibility and lack of interference to mobility and dive equipment.
Target's surface is cleared of debris and/or marine growth.
Visual analysis of target is conducted to identify significant features or defects.
Lengths, gaps angles and holes are measured relative to a fixed datum and results are recorded.
Visual imagery is taken of the target.
Inspection equipment is de-serviced and stored after use.
Non-technical inspection report is drafted and submitted according to organisational procedures.
