The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package. This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible. | |

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm the ability to establish and maintain a shower unit without a breach of safety, damage to the equipment, injury to personnel or pollution to the environment. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time in a real or simulated field environment, to allow the individual to be assessed in a number of realistic scenarios to ensure consistency of performance. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. Specific resources for assessment Access to mobile field shower system; personal protective equipment (face mask, goggles, hearing protection, impervious clothing and/or apron, gloves and boots); digging equipment (shovels and picks); tool kit (socket set, hammer, shifter and ph/chlorine sensor remover); chemicals; mixing container; measuring container; and a forklift/crane. |
Guidance information for assessment | Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package. |
