This unit describes the skills required to assess specific explosive as being safe and suitable for transport. The assessment is a process that is normally undertaken with explosives which are damaged, misfired or of an unknown origin and are required to be transported rather than destroyed or otherwise disposed of. It involves the necessity to identify the transportation requirements, assess the explosive to determine its suitability for transportation and to document the assessment process and outcomes.This unit applies to those required to assess explosives as being safe and suitable for transport.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.
