Composting is used as a general expression for the processing of organic materials; with this unit being relevant for aerobic and anaerobic composting and vermiculture technologies.
This unit of competency applies to an employee of an enterprise engaged in commercial-scale composting operations. Tasks are likely to be performed by a yard hand or general hand under supervision of an operations team leader or site foreman. Work is likely to be performed as a part of a team.
This unit must be read in conjunction with the National Guidelines for Occupational Health and Safety Competency Standards for Operation of Load-Shifting Equipment and Other Types of Specified Equipment [NOHSC: 7019 (1992)].
Where work requires the use of load-shifting equipment, appropriate training/certification must be provided according to state and territory safety and licensing requirements.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to recognise raw materials and products, their characteristics, potential contamination, site location, and handling and management requirements; and recognise the function and relative location of key production processes. It also covers carrying out basic site maintenance.
The unit involves identifying the nature of enterprise processes and products in order to carry out day-to-day work responsibilities, including site maintenance.
