applying safe manual handling practices

safely and effectively operating equipment and utilising materials over the full range of functions and processes for work undertaken on worksite

following worksite evacuation procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit must be completed on the job or in a simulated work environment which reflects a range of safe working practices.

The following should be made available:

a workplace or simulated workplace

situations requiring safe working practices
