Description
This unit describes the skills required to analyse and apply knowledge of the physics of explosives. The application of the knowledge of explosive physics is specific to the work being undertaken by individuals involved within a variety of applications including manufacturing, policy development, technical manual development, platform integration, configuration, staff processes, transport, disposal, trials and inter-operability.This unit applies to those required to analyse the physics of explosives in the context of their work environment and in relation to their workplace functions.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 the physics of explosives, analysing complex data and producing specific documents detailing the outcomes of highly specialised technical functions. They would perform sophisticated tasks in a broad range of specialised contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
