Application
This unit describes the skills required to conduct surveys and to produce survey data in support of proof and experimental firings. This survey can be conducted by two people; one person being the observer and the other recording data – this unit of competency covers both roles. The production of survey data is crucial in the setting up and validation of a number of these proof tests. It applies in a physical science or engineering environment where a product undergoes testing to establish that it meets established standards and/or specifications. This unit was developed for survey specialists working within proof and experimental organisations in Defence, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work. 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 typically work independently and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform complex tasks in known contexts. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. |
