Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Access and analyse relevant explosive ordnance physics information
   • The purpose of the analysis, including the relevance of the physics of explosive ordnance, is identified.
   • Relevant explosive ordnance safety, legislative and statutory requirements are identified and obtained.
   • Information obtained is analysed to determine the relevance within its application and in the context of the organisation.
   • Outcomes of the analysis are formulated and recommendations relevant to safety, legislative and statutory requirements and application are provided.
2. Implement recommendations specific to explosive ordnance physics
   • Work health and safety requirements relevant to explosive ordnance physics are applied in accordance with the organisation requirements.
   • Work being undertaken is established and the relevant recommendations are applied in accordance with organisation requirements.
   • Effectiveness of the recommendations is assessed, reviewed and recorded.
   • Recommendations are adjusted if required and documented for future application.
