Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to locate, treat (for human consumption) and manage water in a survival situation. This unit also includes extracting water directly through evaporation, transpiration and desalination; filtering techniques; and treating foul water to render it potable. Of equal importance to optimising the input of water, is minimising the expenditure of water. Individuals will need to protect and ration their water assets and to implement measures to minimise water loss to increase their chances of survival.This unit was developed for Defence personnel but may be relevant to others.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 act autonomously, while performing concrete tasks, in a broad range of contexts which may be highly unpredictable.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 must be assessed with access to improvised desalinator kits, the desalinator is to provide the only source of water for a minimum of two days unless safety/health reasons require additional supplementation. Competency must be demonstrated once in the evaporation and transpiration of water and competency must be demonstrated in the desalination and management of water, and minimisation of water loss, over a minimum of two days. Consideration must be given to holistic assessment with other survival units. While a person can demonstrate the technical ability to locate and treat water, the aspect of longer Assessment under simulated survival conditions includes: food restrictions absence of normal living conditions and amenities significant period of time Refer to advice in the companion volumes. Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. |
