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

Assessment must confirm the ability to

comply withrelevant OHampS requirements in establishing reference techniques

determine the characteristics and the performance characteristics of explosive ordnance components and associated weapons systems

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 Defence requirements

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to

policy and standards relevant to explosive ordnance components and weapon systems

Method of assessment

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
