Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply aviation work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes identifying and reporting hazards and risks, contributing to managing aviation WHS/OHS, and completing WHS/OHS records.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aviation WHS/OHS duties of flight and ground operations personnel, and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.Operations are conducted as part of recreational, commercial and military aircraft activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.Work is performed independently or under limited supervision as a single operator or within a team environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders, Instructions, Publications and Regulations..
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.
