Evidence Required

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to comply with

organisational safety requirements

appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements

Assessment must also confirm the ability to work safely within an explosive ordnance environment and to

conduct electricalelectronic circuitry tests

calculate and apply net explosive quantity

assess and apply compatibility

maintain documentation

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated 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 in a simulated work environment in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to

facilities and resources used in the storage distribution or 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

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions
