Required Knowledge |
documentation requirements inspection procedures net explosive quantity and compatibility relevant to the facility policies and procedures applicable to explosive ordnance facilities relevant documentation relevant WHS requirements reporting requirements |
Evidence Required
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm the ability to: adhere to relevant WHS requirements and operational safety requirements plan and prepare for facility inspections identify problems and non-adherence to policy and standards initiate rectification procedures maintain documentation Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions which accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to: facilities and resources used in the packaging, storage, distribution and maintenance of explosive ordnance, including a licensed explosive site |
Method of assessment | In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook. Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment. Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include: direct observation interviewing the candidate journals and workplace documentation third party reports from supervisors written or oral questions |
