Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply correct handling and safety procedures when setting up, operating and dismantling outdoor fireworks displays.
Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for managing risk and emergency procedures at fireworks displays, leading work teams, and communicating procedures and requirements to all those involved in outdoor fireworks displays.
All elements must be undertaken according to the provisions of relevant state or territory legislation and licensing requirements.
Achievement of this unit does not automatically qualify a person to obtain a licence to operate in any Australian State or Territory.
Those developing training to support this unit must consult with the relevant state or territory licensing authority, and work within the requirements and guidelines set down by those authorities.
This unit is closely based on work completed by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines.
