This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to analyse and apply knowledge of explosive ordnance.
The application of explosive ordnance knowledge is specific to the work being undertaken and may be included within a variety of applications including acquisitions, audits, inspections, policy implementation, technical manual development, platform integration, configuration, staff processes, transport, disposal, trials and inter-operability. It includes the specific knowledge of explosive ordnance that is required to support these applications.

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 apply knowledge of explosive ordnance to assist in work and to guide problem solving 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 that accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to: information related to the properties of explosive ordnance |
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 |
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. | |
Safety, legislative and statutory requirements may include: | Australian explosives code Commonwealth explosives regulations Organisational explosive classification listing Organisational policy |
