Unit of Competency | PUAOPE001B - Supervise response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit covers the competency to supervise a response by a small team to incidents and may include the use of aircraft, which are time critical and/or potentially threatening to life, property or the environment.The unit includes the competency to proceed to the incident, assess the incident, and plan and implement an operational response and post-response activities. | ||
| 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. |

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 | It is essential for this unit that competence be demonstrated in implementation of an appropriate strategy to deal effectively with the incident Consistency in performance Evidence should be gathered over a period of time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Evidence of competent performance should be obtained by observing an individual in responding to and dealing with an actual or simulated incident operation and supplemented by appropriate questions Specific resources for assessment Assessment of this competency will require access to relevant transport, communication and emergency equipment |
Guidance information for assessment | Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package. |

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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Required Skills |

Required Knowledge |
hazards/potential hazards and their effects knowledge of current navigational practices to perform navigation knowledge of current practices to perform conduct briefings and debriefings organisational policies and procedures relating to operations |
The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. | |
Incidents may include | fires public disorder crime flood storms accident hazardous materials incidents rescues |

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.
