Issue Date: April 2024
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 initiate and maintain fire in a survival situation.
Fire is one of the most critical survival resources because of the range of applications, from preventing hypothermia, and sterilising water to initiating rescue signals.
The individual is expected to produce fire from improvised means (which may include traditional means if there are no alternatives).
