Employability Skills | ||||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to assess if the explosives will present an unacceptable hazard to the lives of Defence personnel or the public while being transported, stored or operated in a defined environment. It will also assess if explosives will function as designed and are not unacceptably degraded by the service environments encountered during the service life. It includes the requirement to identify the scope of the assessment process and to determine the requirement for any testing or trials prior to introduction into service. The assessment is complex due to:scopedegree of riskenvironmental, political, cultural and social factors that applyconsequences of failuredegree of controlThis unit applies to those required to conduct an analysis of identified explosives for the purpose of determining their safety and suitability for service.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 make high level, fully independent judgements, applying a detailed knowledge of explosives, analysing complex data and producing specific documents detailing the outcomes of highly specialised technical functions. They would perform sophisticated tasks in highly specialised operational contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | |||
