Clean after operations - boning room

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to clean and sanitise a boning room. It deals with the skills and knowledge required to operate, strip down and clean all the mechanical aids in the boning room (e.g. packing machinery, conveyors, elevators, scales, recording and labelling machines). It also involves the operation of high pressure cleaning equipment and the use of approved cleaning chemicals in the plant.

This unit is applicable to workers cleaning boning rooms after production has finished. The boning rooms may be attached to abattoirs or in smallgoods plants or part of food services, game processing or wholesaling operations.

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.
