Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to inspect and license explosive ordnance facilities and potential explosion sites and review current licences. Explosive ordnance licensing applies to all potential explosion sites and is part of the quality and safety control processes. It includes inspecting the potential explosive facility, applying formulae to determine the net explosive quantity and compatibility for the facility, and preparing the licensing documentation for approval.This unit applies to personnel who are required to license explosive ordnance facilities and potential explosion sites, and review current licences.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently and as part of a team, under indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform complex tasks in a broad range of contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
