Application
This unit describes the skills required to board and secure a vessel and search personnel and property.
This unit would be typically implemented in a Naval Defence environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work. Tasks are carried out on a ship in a range of conditions that would typically apply to a lengthy operation, while minimising or eliminating environmental stresses and hazards, risk to personnel, vessel and the environment, and preserving individual safety.
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 act in a broad range of contexts that could be highly unpredictable, under indirect supervision, as part of a team, while performing routine tasks that can involve less-familiar steps.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
