Implement pest management plans for complex or high risk operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to establish and monitor the implementation of pest management plans for managing cockroaches, rodents or other common pests such as ants, bedbugs, spiders or flying insects, including preventative pest management measures, in complex or high risk operations, such as aged care or childcare facilities, hospitals, hotels, food manufacturing premises or large construction projects. High risk operations include premises where occupants may be sensitive to pesticide application.

The unit covers developing practical strategies to implement pest management plans using industry-standard pest management practices, including work monitoring and documentation.

The unit supports pest management technicians responsible for implementing pest management plans for pests and pest activity that impact on the health, safety or amenity of persons or environments in domestic, commercial or industrial premises.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to pest management in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

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