Qualification -
Unit of Competency DEFEO501D - Conduct explosive ordnance inspection
Description This unit covers the competency required to conduct an inspection on all types of explosive ordnance in order to assess its condition and to process further action.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to conduct an inspection on all types of explosive ordnance in order to assess its condition and to process the explosive ordnance for further action. The inspection of the explosive ordnance is carried out in a logical sequence while adhering to all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements. How the explosive ordnance is processed is subject to the outcomes of the inspection. In the case of defective or damaged explosive ordnance it may be retained and returned to the manufacturer, maintained or disposed of, or restrictions may be placed on its use.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for inspection
  • Requirement for explosive ordnance inspection is identified from work requests/instructions and confirmed
  • WHS requirements, including those contained in organisational procedures, are applied throughout the operation
  • Technical references, tools and equipment required for the inspection are identified, acquired and prepared in accordance with organisation procedures
  • Explosive ordnance is acquired, identified and accounted for, moved or pre-positioned in preparation for inspection
  • Net explosive quantities and compatibility are identified, calculated, assessed and applied throughout the operation
       
Element: Inspect explosive ordnance
  • Explosive ordnance is inspected in a logical set sequence to ensure that defects or damage are not overlooked in accordance with organisation policy and procedures and technical specifications
  • Damage or other defects are identified and recorded in accordance with organisation procedures
       
Element: Carry out post inspection procedures
  • Explosive ordnance is processed in accordance with organisation procedures
  • Documentation and records are maintained in accordance with statutory, organisation and workshop requirements
       


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.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to comply with:

organisational safety requirements

appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements.

Assessment must also confirm the ability to work safely within an explosive ordnance environment and to:

calculate and apply net explosive quantity

assess and apply compatibility

process explosive ordnance

maintain documentation

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 in a simulated work environment, in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

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

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed with the following unit:

DEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance.

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 safety policies and structures

apply WHS requirements

calculate net explosive quantity

communicate orally and in writing

maintain documentation

read, access, interpret and apply technical instructions and drawings related to explosive ordnance inspections

use relevant tools and equipment

Required Knowledge

assessment of compatibility

calculation of net explosive quantity

characteristics and limitations of explosive ordnance to be inspected

inspection procedures

organisational documentation requirements

organisational WH&S requirements

organisational safety policies and structures

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.

Explosive ordnance inspections may be conducted:

As part of a work program

On direction

On receipt

Prior to maintenance

Prior to or post any activity

And may include inspection to confirm free from explosives, the use of special measuring devices, gauges and locally patented tools

Organisation may include:

Defence organisation

Enterprises that work with explosive ordnance

Other government departments or instrumentalities that work with explosive ordnance

Technical references may include:

Technical drawings

Technical reference pamphlets

Orders and instructions

Other publications

Net explosive quantities include:

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

Inspection may result in explosive ordnance being:

Passed for use

Recommended for sentencing

Rejected

Explosive ordnance defects or damage may include:

Non-compliance with technical specifications

Corrosion

Surface damage

Processing may include:

Disposal, including:

jettisoning

ditching

destruction

restrictions on use

Retention for return or maintenance

Documentation and records may include:

Receipt and issue records

Timesheets

Work records

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.
