Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Gather information for activity
   • Receive and confirm customer requirements
2. Identify and apply safety and security requirements
3. Research explosives to identify known effects for constituents and combinations
4. Identify combinations that produce required effects
5. Identify, analyse and report explosive effects
   • Predict probable effects of explosive detonation in required environment
6. Develop tests to evaluate effect of explosive detonation in required environment
7. Identify and prepare equipment, tools and stores required for post blast analysis
8. Conduct and record post blast analysis
9. Analyse and match the explosive effects to those predicted
10. Refine the prediction and/or repeat the tests where discrepancies occur
11. Seek specialist advice when discrepancies remain in analysis results
12. Document and process test outcomes

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
