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 maintain and fit helmets that are capable of housing communications equipment.
Maintaining a helmet includes inspecting, testing, isolating faults, replacing or sending away for repair, cleaning and testing prior to placing the item back into service. Fitting a helmet includes adjusting the helmet to fit the individual because the item is not an off-the-shelf issue.
Maintaining and fitting ancillary helmet equipment is undertaken independently of the helmet and consequently is not covered by this Unit of Competency.
