Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills required to conduct an inspection of explosives packaging and to process the packaging for further action that may be required. Processing the packaging is subject to the outcomes of the inspection and may result in damaged or defective packaging being rejected, disposed of, returned to the manufacturer or sent for maintenance.

This unit applies to those required to conduct an inspection of explosive packaging and to process the packaging for further action that may be required.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently and as part of a team, under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform routine tasks in a range of contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
