This unit describes the skills required to assess plant movement health risk and the development, implementation and monitoring of strategies to manage that risk. It includes assessing and controlling plant movement health risks, and developing, implementing and monitoring outcomes of strategies to manage plant movement health risks.
This unit applies to those working in public sector roles conducting regulatory activities.
The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.
Those undertaking this unit would work independently as part of a team, performing complex tasks in a range of familiar contexts.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
