What criteria must newly assigned personnel meet before being permitted to work alone?

To work alone in ordnance handling, newly assigned personnel must be certified at the level of Individual or Team Leader. This certification is crucial as it demonstrates that the personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and effectively perform their duties without direct supervision. This requirement ensures that individuals have undergone the appropriate training and assessments, confirming their readiness to handle potentially hazardous materials and processes associated with ordnance.

Holding this certification is essential for maintaining safety protocols and adhering to aviation ordnance regulations, thereby minimizing risks in high-stakes environments. The other criteria, although they may be relevant in different contexts, do not specifically ensure an individual’s competency and readiness to operate independently in ordnance-related tasks.
