Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

adhere to relevant WHS requirements and operational safety

plan processes

identify requirements

acquire resources and adjust as necessary to ensure effective/efficient performance of the processes

Assessment must also confirm the ability to initiate and monitor processes, initiate any remedial action required, communicate with supervisors, suppliers, clients and subordinates, prepare and provide relevant reports and documentation, and effectively and efficiently control explosive ordnance processes.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions which accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to:

facilities and resources used in the packaging, storage, distribution and maintenance of explosive ordnance, including a licensed explosive site

Method of assessment

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions
