Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm the ability to comply with organisation safety requirements and appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements Assessment must also confirm the ability to work safely within an explosive ordnance environment and to: identify, select and use personal protective measures apply safe manual handling administer emergency first aid identify, handle and store hazardous materials calculate and apply net explosive quantity assess and apply compatibility identify and report hazards and incidents participate in incident investigations. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time and observed in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated work environment and in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements. Evidence should be gathered through observation of the practical component and targeted questioning to assess underpinning knowledge. Specific resources for assessment Access to facilities and resources used in the storage, distribution or maintenance of explosive ordnance |
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. |
