Identify and segregate waste

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to identify and segregate a variety of waste types to meet client requirements. It covers identifying and segregating waste into required categories, including identifying and managing hazardous and dangerous waste and non-conforming waste. The unit includes selecting and using equipment for segregation activities, and setting up, labelling, monitoring and emptying segregation containers. The unit requires the ability to identify and manage hazards and risks while working safely with potentially hazardous waste products.

The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a waste management team.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

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