This unit describes the skills required to develop explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) techniques and render safe procedures (RSPs). The development of EOD techniques and RSPs is a process that would not normally be undertaken except in an operational environment where time was of essence and normal techniques were not feasible or possible. The development of explosive ordnance disposal techniques and RSPs is a process primarily in support of the civilian community/authority but may also be conducted under a variety of conditions, including wartime and peacekeeping.This unit applies to those required to develop explosive ordnance disposal techniques and RSPs as a consequence of an operational requirement.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 work independently and as part of a team, under indirect supervision, conducting complex tasks in a broad range of contexts that could be unpredictable.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
