Plan and schedule pest management operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to plan and schedule all types of pest management operations, including rescheduling work when circumstances change. The unit requires the ability to assess the workload implications of current work orders, including amount and type of work required; and then using this knowledge, to schedule work in a logical and organised manner. A comprehensive understanding of the pest management services and treatments being offered is required.

The unit applies to those managing the presence or activities of pests that may affect the health, safety or amenity of persons or the environment and can be applied to 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)
