Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Access and analyse relevant explosive physics information
   • Identify the purpose of the required analysis, including the relevance of the physics of explosives.
   • Identify and obtain explosives safety, legislative and statutory requirements.
   • Analyse the information obtained to determine the relevance within its application and in the context of the organisation.
   • Formulate outcomes of the analysis and provide recommendations.
2. Implement recommendations specific to explosive physics
   • Establish work being undertaken and apply the relevant recommendations.
   • Assess, review and record effectiveness of the recommendations.
   • Adjust recommendations if required and document for future application.
