Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply crash analysis methodologies specific to motorcycle crash incidents. It includes analysing evidence already collected by police crash investigators. This unit applies to those working as police employees involved in vehicle crash analysis. The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are undertaken. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to Work Health and Safety (WHS). Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously or as part of a team while remaining responsible for reporting to senior staff. They would demonstrate the ability to perform analysis in a broad range of contexts.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Analyse features of motorcycle involved in crash incident
