This unit describes the skills required to select and deploy appropriate techniques and/or equipment to control persons in an operational situation.
This competency typically applies to a Naval Defence environment and was developed for boatswain's mates but is applicable to any individual in this field of work. Tasks are carried out on a ship in a range of conditions that would typically apply to a lengthy operation, while minimising or eliminating environmental stresses and hazards, risk to personnel, vessel and the environment, and preserving individual safety.
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 generally perform routine tasks as part of a team and under indirect supervision. They would need to be prepared for a wide of range of contexts that could be unfamiliar and highly unpredictable.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
