Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit has application to aquacultural water supply and disposal systems. They may be manually operated systems and monitoring, or fully automated systems with computer control and monitoring. Standards of uniformity and efficiency may vary from system to system.
All enterprise or workplace procedures and activities are carried out according to relevant government regulations, licensing and other compliance requirements, including occupational health and safety (OHS) guidelines and ecologically sustainable development (ESD) principles.
Equipment operation, maintenance, repairs and calibrations are undertaken in a safe manner that conforms to manufacturer instructions. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is selected, checked, used and maintained.
This unit of competency involves designing water supply and disposal systems for aquacultural enterprises and facilities, mostly for on-land (tanks, ponds and raceways) operations. Planning and designing water supply and disposal systems requires skills in aquatic engineering and the application of underpinning knowledge with depth in areas, such as hydrology, pumps and power supply, and waste management.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Therefore it will be necessary to check with the relevant state or territory regulators for current licensing, legislative or regulatory requirements before undertaking this unit.
