Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify and label explosives/dangerous goods, in accordance with relevant Australian state/territory regulators and authorities concerned with the carriage of explosives and dangerous goods. This includes the current Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code, Australian Code for the Transport of Explosives by Road and Rail (AE Code) and workplace procedures.It includes assessing, handling and labelling explosives and/or dangerous goods, and complying with all required documentation.Work is performed under limited or minimum supervision. No licensing, legislative 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.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, current ADG/AE Code, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
