Use specialised liquid bulk gas transfer equipment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to use specialised bulk gas transfer equipment to load and unload liquid bulk gas in accordance with the current Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code and relevant state/territory regulations.

It includes planning work, transferring gas in accordance with regulatory and operational requirements, monitoring and operating controls, and completing all operations, as required.

Work is performed under general supervision.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this 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)
