Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and includes:
adhering to relevant work health and safety requirements and operational safety analysing and evaluating information applying safety, legislative and statutory requirements relevant to explosive physics conducting research identifying relevant information interpreting organisation role relevant to explosive physics using appropriate information technology and software writing research reports including recommendations

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and includes:
operational knowledge of: comparative measures of an explosive, including: brisance compatibility critical diameter detonation pressure figure of insensitivity gas volume heat of explosion power index power of explosive rate of burning sensitiveness sensitivity stability temperature of explosion TNT equivalence velocity of detonation electro explosive hazards (EEH) protection generic design principles to the design and selection of a weapon system, including: aerodynamics ballistics bombs egress systems electronic protection measures fuze systems guidance and seeker systems gun systems hydrodynamics platform integration propulsion systems pyrotechnics warheads

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations acceptable means of simulation assessment applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals relevant materials, tools, equipment and PPE currently used in industry.
