Learning Outcomes

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake planned burning and lead on-ground burn operations for agriculture, conservation and land management purposes. Planned burning is characterised by low risk, low intensity fire, with low potential impact on assets and values, within a defined objective and area with minimal variation in fuel and terrain. The unit applies to individuals engaged in community and enterprise based organisations who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work, including limited responsibility for the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources. Legislation and regulations apply to planned burns in many jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
