This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to separate offal into edible and inedible types (including pet meat). It also involves the identification of contamination and defects.

This unit is applicable to slaughter floor and wild game processing plant operations noting that wild game offal is either separated into pet food or condemned.

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.

Element	Performance criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Identify offal	1.1 Identify different types of offal, including edible and inedible offal, according to workplace requirements
2. Separate offal into edible and inedible offal	2.1 Separate offal and sort into edible and inedible offal according to workplace requirements 2.2 Identify offal that is fit for human consumption (where applicable) and pass to appropriate area for processing according to workplace requirements 2.3 Separate gall bladder from liver 2.4 Wash offal that may have sustained damage, where applicable 2.5 Identify condemned offal according to inspection brands or marking 2.6 Place offal in chutes or bins according to workplace requirements

The candidate must separate offal into edible and inedible types (including pet meat).

The candidate must:

identify the various organs processed on the viscera table

separate offal to hygiene and sanitation, workplace, Quality Assurance (QA) and workplace health and safety requirements

identify condemnation marks on offal

handle offal to avoid bile, ingesta, excreta or content contamination

dispose of inedible offal in appropriate bins or chutes

apply relevant regulatory requirements

The candidate must demonstrate a basic factual, technical and procedural knowledge of:

hygiene and sanitation, workplace, QA and workplace health and safety requirements associated with separating offal on the slaughter floor

impact of contamination of edible offal on further processing

importance of accurate separation of offal on the viscera table

relevant regulatory requirements

Competency must be demonstrated at normal chain speed.

Assessment must occur in the workplace under normal production conditions.

As a minimum, the following three forms of assessment must be used:

quiz of underpinning knowledge

workplace demonstration

workplace referee or third-party report of performance over time

Assessors must satisfy the current standards for RTOs.
