This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate a new technology or process in a meat processing operation.

This unit will be utilised when new technology (not covered by other units) is introduced and structured training is delivered. Any associated training and/or assessment materials will need detailed customisation to address the requirements for each specific piece of technology.

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.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
