Issue Date: May 2024
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.
This unit covers the competency required to construct, and recover gap crossing bridging equipment, to facilitate the movement of personnel, vehicles, cargo and equipment.
Bridges will normally be constructed on a temporary basis under field conditions to meet the operational need to provide a crossing point over a gap for personnel and equipment. When the crossing is no longer required the bridge is either recovered to storage or redeployed to another crossing.
The person will usually be engaged in bridge construction by leading a team and working autonomously.
Equipment bridging is constructed from designed and certified bridge modules and parts to provide a temporary or permanent bridge over a gap.
