Assessment requirements
Modification History
Release 1.
Supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSEC3052A Inspect and test cash-in-transit security equipment.
Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 7.0.
Performance Evidence
To demonstrate competency in this unit, a person must inspect and test the following cash-in-transit security equipment items for operational effectiveness:
- two types of communication equipment:
- mounted two-way radio
- portable two-way radio
- one alarm system
- one access control system
- one surveillance camera.
For two different types of equipment listed above, the person must identify one fault.
In doing this, the person must meet the performance criteria for this unit.
Knowledge Evidence
To be competent in this unit, a person must demonstrate knowledge of:
- standard operating procedures and workplace policies that ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements when inspecting and testing cash-in-transit security equipment:
- duty of care
- licensing requirements for cash-in-transit operations
- licensing requirements and permits for firearms
- limits of own responsibility and authority
- surveillance
- workplace health and safety (WHS) including manual handling
- common faults and malfunctions in cash-in-transit security equipment and devices
- operational features and functions of a range of cash-in-transit security equipment and devices
- procedures for activating and de-activating a range of security systems and devices
- procedures for inspecting and testing a range of cash-in-transit security equipment and devices
- procedures for responding to a violent encounter including armed robbery
- procedures for tagging non-serviceable equipment and systems
- process of dynamic risk assessment and how it is applied
- risks and hazards posed by faulty equipment and inspection and testing activities, and related precautions and controls
- tools and equipment required to inspect and test cash-in-transit security equipment.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). All individuals engaged by a licensed RTO for security licensing purposes must hold both a security trainer’s licence (where such a licence exists within the relevant jurisdiction) and a security operative licence that authorises the security activities about which the individual is training/assessing. Regulators may impose other assessor conditions to meet jurisdictional assessment requirements.
Assessment of performance must be undertaken in an operational workplace environment or environment that reflects workplace conditions. Tasks are to be performed to the level of proficiency and within the time limits that would be expected in a workplace.
The assessment of performance evidence must be done by direct observation of the learner by an assessor, either by an assessor observing the learner physically or by an assessor observing the learner via audio and visual media.
Assessment of performance evidence is only valid where the learner has been assessed performing the role of a security officer.
Assessors are responsible for ensuring that the person demonstrating competency has access to:
- specifications of assessment tasks to inspect and test cash-in-transit security equipment and rectify faults
- appropriate documents, materials, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry including equipment required to achieve the performance evidence:
- two types of communication equipment:
- mounted two-way radio
- portable two-way radio
- alarm system
- access control system
- surveillance camera
- standard operating procedures and workplace policies related to the security work role and which specify requirements for complying with industry legislation and regulations.
