The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
This unit covers the competency required to drive, navigate and direct a vehicle at night under field conditions using white, reduced and blackout lighting where the threat(s) by an adversary or enemy may prohibit the full use of normal vehicle headlights, tail lights and interior lighting.
In these circumstances, to assist in the control, operation and navigation of the vehicle, the driver may use guides and other aids, including specialist 'blackout' lighting equipment fitted to vehicles.
This unit does not include the use of night fighting equipment, which is addressed in competency DEFTP004B .
