The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.

This unit covers the competency required to conduct weapons range practices to support the maintenance of operational readiness in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

This competency encompasses the safe and efficient planning and conduct of basic range practices as the Officer in Charge (OIC). Conduct in this instance also includes effectively supervising safety, preparing and finalising range practices using weapons and ammunition for which the OIC is qualified to operate.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
