Unit of Competency DEFRNG008 - Manage training area and range contamination
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to locate, identify, isolate and establish safety parameters for contaminants and contamination on training areas and ranges.This unit was developed for Defence personnel who work in range management and range control but may be relevant to others who work in this field. 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 work independently or as part of a team, under indirect supervision, while performing complex tasks, in a moderate range of familiar contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.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.
