Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 2. Modifications made to Foundation Skills and Assessment Conditions. |
Release 1. This unit was released in DEF Defence Training Package release 1.0 and meets the Standards for Training Packages. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to DEFEO006 Predict and confirm explosive ordnance effects.
|
Application
This unit describes the skills required to predict and confirm explosive effects. It includes the requirement to identify the explosive, predict its effects through analysis and identify the explosive. The activity will generally include the test detonation of the explosive using the actual conditions or simulation to confirm the prognosis. This unit applies to those required to predict the likely effect of the detonation of explosives and then confirm the prognosis. 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 make high level, fully independent judgements, applying a detailed knowledge of explosives, analysing complex data and producing specific documents detailing the outcomes of highly specialised technical functions. They would perform sophisticated tasks in highly specialised operational contexts. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. |
