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

Assessment must confirm the ability to comply with:

organisational safety requirements

appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements while maintaining demolition stores

Assessment must also confirm the ability to work safely within an explosive ordnance environment and to:

calculate and apply net explosive quantity

assess and apply compatibility

conduct relevant tests

maintain documentation

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated demolition stores maintenance contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated work environment, in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

facilities and resources used in the storage, distribution or maintenance of explosive ordnance, including a licensed explosive site

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed with the following unit:

DEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions
