Application
This unit describes the skills required to destroy unexploded ordnance (UXO) by detonation. Unexploded ordnance includes any authorised explosive ordnance or explosive ordnance that has failed to function as designed while in use on a licensed range. Destruction is normally carried out by explosives in the location of the unexploded ordnance. Explosive ordnance in this competency includes that which has malfunctioned/failed to function following attempted firing or ignition. This unit can apply above and below the high water mark. This unit applies to those required to prepare for and destroy UXO by detonation and undertake appropriate site/equipment maintenance and/or refurbishment. 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 under direct or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform routine tasks in a range of contexts. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. |
