Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports racing industry personnel required to assess racing gear suitability and safety as part of their job role.
Competencies attained in this unit apply to the greyhound, harness or thoroughbred code of the industry. Consequently when performance criteria are applied they will relate to the greyhound code or the harness code or the thoroughbred code, and statements of attainment for this unit will reflect this distinction.
This unit can be contextualised for other industries while also maintaining the integrity of the unit.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to identify approved and non-approved gear and equipment used on racing animals. It requires the ability to check the comfort and safety of gear, identify greyhound or horse behaviour traits, apply common handling techniques and follow workplace OHS standards.
This unit of competency operates in workplace environments of racing administration, kennels, stables, racecourses and public areas.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Check with your State Principal Racing Authority for current license or registration requirements.
