Conduct resource recovery

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct waste resource recovery operations. The unit covers preparing to recover resources by reviewing organisational documents, identifying and managing hazards and risks, and organising the equipment and people required to support the recovery work. The unit covers operating equipment to recover resources while monitoring the recovery site to ensure waste containment, adequate access and availability of space. The unit requires the ability to segregate resources for recovery, and identify and contain hazardous and non-conforming waste types. It also requires conducting a quality inspection of the segregated resources for recovery, and recording the details using organisational proformas. It includes shutting down and securing equipment, and cleaning and decontaminating equipment and the work area once activities are finalised.

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

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit of competency in some States where a licence is required to operate various plant, vehicles or equipment used to transport, shift, load, unload, lift, compact or otherwise process waste. 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)
