Employability Skills Summary for PUA31606 Certificate III in Public Safety (Artillery Operations)
Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.
Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the PUA31606 Certificate III in Public Safety (Artillery Operations) 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.
Public Safety 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 | adjust own communication styles to reflect equity and diversity principles apply appropriate techniques when providing constructive feedback to other team members and when giving and receiving support to/from team members apply interpersonal and cross-cultural communication strategies communicate information quickly, clearly and accurately complete and maintain documentation and records ensure that information, knowledge and skills are communicated effectively and shared follow legislative and statutory requirements follow organisational policies and guidelines follow standard procedures, safety procedures and instructions interpret data produced by the radar and used to assist command decisions provide information and interpret directions/orders from a supervisor record and communicate data (such as survey or meteorological) report faults and defects to supervisor including defects with firing send and receive simple non-verbal signals |
Teamwork | recognise, value and adjust own behaviour to individual differences in the workplace by treating others with respect and dignity work as part of a team such as a two-person survey team or a gun detachment team work in an acceptable and non-discriminatory manner while establishing rapport and good working relationships with all colleagues |
Problem solving | conduct a field survey to determine fixation and orientation conduct operating maintenance in accordance with procedures confirm operational performance and accuracy of the radar and take appropriate action where performance is out of limits continually assess the environment to identify the threat or their sign identify weaknesses for exploitation minimise personal signature report or correct faults or difficulties within own ability by using basic fault finding skills select the type of camouflage required for a particular situation use tactical techniques and procedures and target recognition verify results for omissions and errors by re-checking visual clues in measurements or actual data |
Initiative and enterprise | use improvised techniques appropriately such as minimising personal signature |
Planning and organising | assess factors influencing camouflage and concealment assess the environment so that appropriate camouflage and concealment techniques can be applied assess the tactical situation so that appropriate camouflage and concealment techniques can be applied assess threat's detection capabilities complete administration duties in accordance with procedures gather meteorological data prepare for meteorological operation prepare for survey prepare weapon for movement and firing select appropriate routes set up radar understand and apply throughout operation, occupational health and safety requirements and recognised safety precautions including those contained in the Australian Defence Force procedures |
Self-management | comply with workplace equity and diversity practices conduct self in a manner that shows sensitivity to the differences between colleagues recognise the limit of own authority work without supervision |
Learning | compile meteorological data conduct weapon drills develop a detailed understanding of weapon systems, field surveys, personal camouflage and concealment |
Technology | conduct equipment maintenance ensure radar is operated in accordance with standard procedures maintain equipment such as a weapon, survey equipment or meteorological equipment for serviceability ensure targets are sighted and tracked using the system prepare and operate a radar or weapon safely handle, aim, fire, manoeuvre and maintain line of sight ground based air defence weapon systems use ammunition under supervision use communications and signalling devices use emergency devices (e.g. parachute, life-raft) and weapons use equipment/instruments including ancillary equipment or survey equipment |
