Modification History
Release 1. This unit was released in DEF Defence Training Package release 3.0. |
Application
This unit describes the skills required to examine and certify explosive and non-explosive dangerous goods packaging as being free from explosives (FFE) and arisings for salvage or return. Certification of these items as being FFE is a statutory requirement at different stages in the processing of these items, in particular when being sold or offered to the public for scrap metal. This unit does not cover the competencies required for inerting explosives and associated components. This unit applies to those required to examine and certify salvage and associated packaging as being FFE. The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to. Those undertaking this unit would work independently and as part of a team, under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform specific tasks in a broad range of contexts. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. |
