This unit requires application of skills and knowledge relating to the maintenance and fitment of immersion suits. Maintenance involves inspection, testing, fault diagnosis, replacement of parts and cleaning. Fitment involves adjusting the immersion suit to correctly fit an individual.
There are two types of immersion suits: quick don and constant wear. Quick don usually does not require fitting while constant wear is custom fitted to the individual.
This Unit is part of the Aeroskills Life Support and Furnishing AQF III and IV training pathways. It covers the competencies required to maintain and fit immersion suits.
