This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to seal or drain the urinary tract of a carcase during the dressing procedure on a slaughter floor.

This unit is applicable to workers on a slaughter floor required to either drain a urinary tract using a probe and vacuum pump or seal a pizzle using clips or a mechanical device. The mechanical device is usually a set of heated tongs or cutters.

All work should be carried out to comply with workplace and hygiene requirements.

This unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision, exercise limited autonomy and have some accountability for their own work.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

This unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.
