3 | Context of assessment | a | Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations |
b | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation: |
| 1 | As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral examinations, and |
| 2 | Appropriate practical assessment must occur: |
| | i | at the registered training organisation; and/or |
| | ii | on an appropriate working or training vessel |
| |
4Specific resources required for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | carry out a range of suitably simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to carry out firefighting activities on board a vessel; and/or |
b | assist in firefighting drills on board an operational vessel |
| Note: Simulated firefighting assessment exercises may require access to a fire training and assessment facility capable of simulating firefighting activities in a marine environment. Assessments must be conducted in accordance with relevant OH&S requirements. Protective clothing must be worn in accordance with current maritime practices and Australian OH&S standards. Simulated conditions should provide realistic simulated shipboard conditions, including, where practical, conduct of activities in darkness. |
