Unit of Competency DEFEO211D - Apply a knowledge of explosive ordnance
Description This unit covers the competency required to analyse and apply knowledge of explosive ordnance that is required to support a variety of applications including acquisitions, audits, inspections, policy implementation, technical manual development, platform integration, configuration, staff processes, transport, disposal, trials and inter-operability.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to analyse and apply knowledge of explosive ordnance.The application of explosive ordnance knowledge is specific to the work being undertaken and may be included within a variety of applications including acquisitions, audits, inspections, policy implementation, technical manual development, platform integration, configuration, staff processes, transport, disposal, trials and inter-operability. It includes the specific knowledge of explosive ordnance that is required to support these applications.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Access and analyse relevant explosive ordnance information
  • Relevant explosive ordnance safety, legislative and statutory requirements are identified and obtained
  • Information obtained is analysed to determine the relevance and application to the organisation
  • Outcomes of the analysis are formulated and recommendations relevant to safety, legislative and statutory requirements are provided
       
Element: Implement recommendations specific to explosive ordnance
  • Work health and safety (WHS) requirements relevant to explosive ordnance are applied in accordance with the organisational requirements
  • Work being undertaken is established and the relevant recommendations are applied in accordance with organisational requirements
  • Effectiveness of the recommendations is assessed, reviewed and recorded
  • Recommendations are adjusted if required and documented for future application
       


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

apply knowledge of explosive ordnance to assist in work and to guide problem solving

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 that accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

information related to the properties of explosive ordnance

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

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

analyse and evaluate information

apply explosive ordnance knowledge relevant to work being performed

apply safety, legislative and statutory requirements relevant to explosive ordnance

identify information

interpret organisational role relevant to explosive ordnance

use appropriate information technology and software

Required Knowledge

application of explosive ordnance

design principles of explosive ordnance

effects of explosive ordnance

explosive ordnance audit and inspections requirements

explosive ordnance knowledge relevant to work being performed

explosive ordnance maintenance procedures

explosive ordnance storage, handling and transportation requirements

general properties of explosive ordnance

inter-operability of explosive ordnance

organisational role relevant to explosive ordnance

safety, legislative and statutory requirements relevant to explosive ordnance

specific properties of explosive ordnance including:

chemical properties

physical properties

materials and structures properties

weapon system and platform integration

written communication to a level required in the preparation of letters and reports

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Safety, legislative and statutory requirements may include:

Australian explosives code

Commonwealth explosives regulations

Organisational explosive classification listing

Organisational policy

Organisations may include:

Defence organisation

Enterprises that work with explosive ordnance

Other government departments or instrumentalities that work with explosive ordnance

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
