TLIU0001
Develop workplace policy and procedures for environmental sustainability

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement workplace environmental sustainability policy and procedures.

It includes developing, communicating and implementing a workplace environmental sustainability policy as well as reviewing and modifying this policy when circumstances change.

Environmental sustainably policy can involve an integrated approach to sustainability, which includes environmental, economic and social aspects, or a narrower one to focus on each aspect individually.

This unit applies to individuals who address the knowledge, processes and techniques necessary to develop approaches to environmental sustainability within workplaces, including the development and implementation of policy.

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)

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
