Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to

adhere to relevant WHS requirements and operational safety

identify and select appropriate packaging materials and components

package ammunition

mark and label packaged ammunitionexplosive ordnance

maintain documentation

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions which accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements

Evidence should be gathered through observation of the practical component and targeted questioning to assess required knowledge

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to

facilities and resources used in the packaging storage distribution and maintenance of explosive ordnance including a licensed explosive site

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed with the following unit

DEFEOD Work safely with explosive ordnance

DEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance.

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision andor mentoring which is typically recorded in a competency workbook

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industryapproved simulated work environment Forms of assessment that are typically used include
