This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply correct handling and safety procedures when setting up, operating and dismantling outdoor fireworks displays.

The unit applies to those who work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for managing risk and emergency procedures at fireworks displays, leading work teams, and communicating procedures and requirements to all those involved in outdoor fireworks displays.

Licensing and legislative requirements apply to this unit but vary according to state/territory jurisdictions.

Completion of this unit does not automatically qualify a person to obtain a licence to operate in any Australian state or territory.

Users are advised to check with the relevant licensing authority and work within the requirements and guidelines set down by those authorities.

This unit is closely based on work completed by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines.
