This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to conduct an inspection of explosive ordnance packaging and to process the packaging for further action that may be required.
The inspection of the packaging is carried out in a logical sequence while adhering to all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements. Processing the packaging is subject to the outcomes of the inspection and may result in damaged or defective packaging being rejected, disposed of, returned to the manufacturer or sent for maintenance.
Not applicable.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm the ability to comply with: organisational safety requirements appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements. Assessment must also confirm the ability to work safely within a workshop environment and to: identify packaging identify labelling and marking process explosive ordnance packaging maintain documentation Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated reconditioning contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated work environment, in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to: facilities and resources used in the reconditioning of explosive ordnance packaging. |
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 |
