Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify explosive ordnance requiring environmental control
  • Explosive ordnance requiring environmental control is identified from technical specifications and in accordance with organisationalinstructions and procedures
  • Environmental requirements for short-term and long-term storage are selected to match explosive ordnance type
  • Environmental limits for control are identified from technical specifications and in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
  • Storage separations and co-storage applications are identified and recorded in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
  • Net explosives quantities and compatibility are identified, calculated and monitored throughout the operation
       
Element: Monitor explosive ordnance environmental conditions
  • Appropriate methods for determining environmental monitoring procedures of explosive ordnance are identified in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
  • Monitoring devices are operated/monitored in accordance with current instructions and procedures
  • Storage areas are monitored for environmental standards in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
  • Explosive ordnance is monitored to ensure compliance with environmental storage requirements
       
Element: Identify and rectify problems
  • Implications of incorrect environmental standards are identified in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
  • Causes related to loss of environmental standards are identified in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
  • Procedures related to problem rectification are implemented in accordance with organisational instructions and procedures
       


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:

identify explosive ordnance requiring environmental management

identify appropriate environmental controls

monitor the environment

identify and rectify problems

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and 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.

Evidence should be gathered through observation of the practical component and targeted questioning to assess underpinning knowledge.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

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

Methodof 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

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

apply compatibility constraints

apply corrective actions

apply environmental constraints

calculate and maintain net explosive quantity

read, access, interpret and apply technical instructions and drawings related to environmental management of explosive ordnance

Required Knowledge

compatibility constraints

corrective actions to maintain environmental levels

effects of environmental conditions

environmental requirements for relevant explosive ordnance

monitoring processes

net explosive quantity calculations

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.

Environmental conditions may include:

Air quality

Humidity

Pressure

Temperature

Technical specifications may be found in:

Manufacturer's specifications

Materials safety data sheets (MSDS)

Operating procedures and policies

Supplier and/or client instructions

Instructions and procedures may include:

Codes of practice

Explosive ordnance identification numbers and codes

Legislation and regulations

Manifests

Manufacturer's specifications

Materials safety data sheets (MSDS)

Operating procedures and policies

Quality assurance procedures

Standards and certification requirements

Supplier and/or client instructions

Organisation may include:

Defence organisation

Enterprises that work with explosive ordnance

Other government departments or instrumentalities that work with explosive ordnance

Net explosive quantities include:

The explosive capacity calculated in a wide range of activities related to the storage, distribution and maintenance of explosive ordnance

Compatibility is:

Assessed in a wide range of activities related to the storage, distribution and maintenance of explosive ordnance and other hazardous materials

Problem rectification may include:

Advising supervisor

Calling in contractor

Calling in maintenance staff

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.
