Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to treat risk within Defence at an operational level. It includes the skills required to identify, plan and implement treatment options in order to reduce risk. This unit applies to Defence personnel required to treat risk but may be relevant to others working in this field. Those undertaking this unit would work both independently and as part of a team, while performing routine tasks to apply unknown solutions to a variety of unpredictable problems. They would normally have local supervisory or management responsibility and apply known solutions to a variety of predicable problems. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
