Conduct a sustainable water use audit
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies inside organisations and their value chains. The unit has been developed with manufacturing operations as a focus. However, because of the range of organisations in a typical manufacturing value chain it may also be applied to other types of organisations.
The water use audit may be conducted to assist in regulatory compliance or as part of a strategy to improve the sustainability of operations. The emphasis in the unit is on informing decision making in regards to water use. Where complex field or laboratory analysis skills or analysis of the effect of water use on local ecology are required appropriate units should be selected from the MSL09 Laboratory Operations Training Package.
It would typically be undertaken by a manager or technical specialist who had a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility. The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.
The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit.
This unit of competency covers conducting an audit for the specific resource of water in a manufacturing organisation, or part or all of a value chain.
