Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Elements describe the essential outcomes of a Unit of Competency.	Performance Criteria describe the required performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the Required Skills and Knowledge and/or the Range Statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the Evidence Guide.

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
1. Prepare for unpackaging	1.1 Unpackaging requirements are identified from work requests/instructions and are confirmed with relevant personnel 1.2 Occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements, including those contained in organisational procedures, are applied throughout the operation 1.3 Technical references, tools and equipment are identified, acquired and prepared in accordance with organisational procedures 1.4 Net explosive quantities and compatibility are identified, calculated, analysed and applied throughout the operation 1.5 Emergency and contingency procedures are applied in accordance with organisational policy 1.6 Environmental conditions are monitored and maintained in accordance with organisational policy
2. Unpack ammunition/ explosive ordnance	2.1 Ammunition/explosive ordnance or explosive components are prepared for unpackaging in accordance with organisational policy and procedures 2.2 Ammunition/explosive ordnance or explosive components are unpackaged in accordance with technical instructions, technical drawings and organisational procedures 2.3 Packaging material is stored or disposed of in accordance with statutory and organisational policy 2.4 Relevant calculations are carried out and recorded
3. Finalise unpackaging procedures	3.1 Equipment/tools are maintained in accordance with organisational policy and procedures 3.2 Documentation and records are maintained in accordance with statutory, organisational and workshop requirements

Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to: adhere to relevant OH&S requirements and operational safety identify and select appropriate unpackaging tools and equipment maintain documentation. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time and in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions which accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements. Evidence should be gathered through observation of the practical component and targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to: facilities and resources used in the packaging, storage, distribution and maintenance of explosive ordnance, including a licensed explosive site.
Method of assessment	This unit may be assessed with the following unit: PUADEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance. In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook. Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment. Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include: direct observation interviewing the candidate journals and workplace documentation third party reports from supervisors written or oral questions.
