• Interprets textual information from relevant sources to identify equipment suitability and adhere to procedures and standards

Writing

1.1, 6.3

• Accurately completes relevant reports and documentation using clear and technically specific language and diagrammatic information

Oral Communication

1.1, 6.1, 6.3

• Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm understanding for requirements, and participates in a verbal exchange of ideas and solutions
• Uses appropriate, detailed and clear language to address key personnel and to disseminate information

Numeracy

1.2, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5

• Uses mathematical formulae to calculate ratios and scale, make adjustments to equipment and interpret methodological information

Navigate the world of work

1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1-4.5, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.3

• Takes personal responsibility for adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, standards, manufacturer's instructions and industry practice relevant to own work context, and draws attention to any issues that may affect self or others in relation to climbing and performing rescues

Get the work done

1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 4.4, 6.2

• Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes and an increasingly intuitive understanding of the climbing and rescue context to identify relevant information and risks, and to identify and evaluate alternative strategies and resources
• Makes a range of critical and non-critical decisions regarding route, equipment and need for medical treatment in relatively complex climbing and rescue situations, taking a range of constraints into account
• Recognises and takes responsibility for addressing predictable and some less predictable safety problems in familiar work contexts
• Initiates standard procedures when responding to familiar problems within immediate context
• Applies formal problem-solving processes when selecting equipment and managing ropes, breaking complex issues into manageable parts and identifying and evaluating several options for action
