Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.
Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the DEF41912 Certificate IV in Explosive Ordnance Manufacture have been reproduced in the table below.
This table provides an example of Employability Skills for the qualification because Employability Skills within a qualification will vary depending on the qualification packaging options.
Defence qualifications have core units (which must be achieved) and elective units (where there is a choice of units which must be achieved) so different Employability Skills Summaries are possible within the one qualification, depending on the package of core units and chosen elective units.
Employability Skill | Employability Skills Statement |
Communication | access and clarify safety procedures and instructions access, read, interpret and apply information on safety conduct liaison with supervisors, suppliers, clients and superiors as required follow instructions/directives and report information identify and note organisation incident and injury statistics identify and/or acquire documentation and licensing limitations identify and recognise hazardous materials labels and characteristics, and apply relevant action/criteria identify breaches in site safety and act on or report obtain relevant authorisation before specialised and hazardous work is carried out read to a level required to interpret job instructions, workplace forms and reports use a variety of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques write at the level required to complete workplace documentation and reports |
Teamwork | apply knowledge and principles of teamwork, and team aims and objectives encourage other team members participate in a team understand the composition of teams, and roles and responsibility of team members use techniques for supporting others/team members |
Problem solving | apply formulae to determine the net explosive quantity and compatibility for the facility assess and apply compatibility assess fire situation demonstrate knowledge of explosive ordnance to assist in work and to guide problem solving determine appropriate course of action under supervision extinguish fires take remedial action |
Initiative and enterprise | initiate any remedial action required observe and respond to changing circumstances and unusual situations support others/team members |
Planning and organising | apply occupational health and safety requirements relevant to explosive ordnance in accordance with the organisation requirements determine processes to be performed, the resources required for their performance, the constraints imposed and any special requirements for their conduct direct and brief coordinating and monitoring personnel handle and move hazardous materials identify and source materials required, and program delivery identify resource shortfall and initiate measures for their sourcing plan and prepare for licensing |
