This unit covers the competency required to effectively identify the sources of radiation, including noise, radio frequency, and ionising radiations, that may be a hazard in the workplace and to monitor the hazard and hazard controls that have been recommended and/or implemented.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
