Receive and store floristry stock
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024
This unit describes a fundamental operational function for the floristry industry and applies to the full range of industry sectors and environments. The floristry business could be a retail, studio or online business.
Stock control systems might be manual; however, stock control is increasingly computerised. This unit covers any type of stock.
The receipt and storage of stock, including maintaining clean premises to avoid stock spoilage, is usually undertaken by frontline operational personnel who work under close supervision and with guidance from others. They apply little discretion and judgement as they follow predefined organisational procedures, reporting any stock-related discrepancies to a higher level staff member for action. However, in a small floristry business experienced florists and owner-operators also undertake this function.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to receive and store all types of floristry stock including flower and plant materials and both perishable and non-perishable ancillary merchandise. It requires the ability to maintain the cleanliness of all stock handling and storage areas, check and take delivery of floristry stock and to appropriately store and rotate all items.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. However, some floristry businesses supply foodstuffs, the handling and storage of which is regulated. Where this is the case, it is appropriate to select the hygiene and food safety units of competency as electives and assess them in combination with this unit.
