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 immersion suits. There are two types of immersion suits: quick don and constant wear. Quick don usually does not require fitting while constant wear is custom fitted to the individual.
Maintaining an immersion suit includes inspecting, testing, isolating faults, replacing or sending away for repair, cleaning and packing prior to placing the item back into service.
Fitting an immersion suit includes adjusting the immersion suit to fit the individual because the item is not an off-the-shelf issue.
