Qualification -
Unit of Competency DEFLS008B - Maintain, install and remove restraint systems
Description This unit covers the competency required to maintain, install and remove restraint systems. This Unit of Competency is applicable to a range of personal restraint systems.Maintaining a restraint system includes inspecting, isolating faults, replacing, repairing and cleaning prior to returning the item to service. Maintenance can be conducted in-situ or the item can be removed to a maintenance facility.Installing a restraint system involves attachment to a parent system.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Maintain restraint belts/harnesses
  • Restraint belts/harnesses are inspected for serviceability in accordance with standard procedures
  • Identified faults beyond own authority to rectify are reported to supervisor and faulty restraint system is quarantined
  • Unserviceable parts of a quick release fitting are inspected, tested and replaced
  • Unserviceable parts of the restraint belts/harnesses are replaced to render restraint system serviceable in accordance with standard procedures
  • Basic restraint belts/harnesses stitching repairs are completed in accordance with standard procedures
  • Restraint belts/harnesses are cleaned in accordance with standard procedures
  • Restraint belts/harnesses are presented for inspection by supervisor and work is not progressed until supervisor has completed inspections in accordance with standard procedures
  • Relevant documentation is completed in accordance with standard procedures
       
Element: Install and remove restraint systems
  • Authority to fit or remove restraint system is obtained in accordance with standard procedures
  • Restraint system is fixed or removed from parent system in accordance with standard procedures
  • Restraint system is presented for inspection by supervisor and work is not progressed until supervisor has completed inspections in accordance with standard procedures
  • Relevant documentation is completed in accordance with standard 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.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to recognise limits of own authority; and to recognise a range of faults and their serviceability and repair limitations/tolerances including verification of expiry date of restraint system component parts and recognition of incorrect manufacture.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time with a range of restraint system fitting and maintenance activities.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to harness components, harness webbing for repairs, industrial sewing machine tools and equipment for maintaining and fixing a restraint system, quick release fittings and components.

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.

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.
