The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. | |
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 the process interpret drawings and instructions identify requirements and resources set up monitor the performance of the process provide reports and appropriate documentation Assessment must also confirm the ability to effectively coordinate and provide direction to personnel involved in various tasks. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts sufficient to include dealings with an appropriate range and variety of situations. |
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 | This unit may be assessed with the following unit: DEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance. 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 |
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. | |
