Unit of Competency DEFMIL030 - Use individual protective equipment in a CBRN threat environment
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to prepare and utilise individual protective equipment in chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) threat environment. The individual will be responsible for preparing the protective equipment prior to deployment and once in location utilising the equipment to provide individual protection from a CBRN threat. Compliance with procedures, including the functional testing of the equipment, is an essential part of this unit. This unit was developed for military personnel required to operate in CBRN threat environment usually in a deployed operational environment, but is applicable to any individual who is required to complete this type of work.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 direct and/or indirect supervision. They would use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs while performing specific tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this 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 demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations and is to include exposure to CS gas or a similar non-lethal chemical agent.

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

2.3 Conduct confirmatory function testing of equipment periodically during operations.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

identifying, inspecting, preparing and cleaning respirator and clothing and equipment ensemble

identifying basic equipment faults

using respirator and ensemble

providing reports on faulty equipment

using authorised CBRN drills to detect threats/hazards

carrying out decontamination hazard reduction measures

preparing and utilising equipment to meet changes in the operating environment, changes in threat, detection of hazards and the occurrence of an CBRN incident

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.
