4. Minimisation of noise hazards is planned and managed
   • Noise generating activities are minimised and carried out within approved operating hours
   • Fixed machinery has silencers fitted or is contained within a noise minimisation structure
5. Management systems
   • An environmental policy and contingency plan suitable to the needs of the business is developed and implemented
   • Waste to landfill is calculated and possible savings through reuse and recycling are calculated
   • Payback period on environmental equipment is calculated
   • Manage staff adherence to environmental responsibilities
   • Environmental records are accurately and legibly maintained and stored securely in a form accessible for reporting procedures

Required Skills

Required skills

Required skills include collect organise and understand information related to environmental procedures from legislation regulations policies guidelines standards and workplace best practices in a marine repair and service business communicate ideas and information to enable all work undertaken is in accordance with environmental best practice seek support from stakeholders for implementing suitable innovation and continuous improvement plan and organise activities including the preparation of equipment and materials recycling and waste management system and the selection of appropriate worksite to avoid any environmental contamination backtracking workflow interruptions or wastage promote work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to minimise wastage optimise workflow and productivity use planning checking and inspection techniques to avoid environmental contamination and wastage use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements required for the work and calculate wastage rates of various methods use the workplace technology related to environmental protection and recycling equipment

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes aspects of environmental legislation and its relationship with occupational health and safety OHS financial and risk management requirements for trade waste permits spill cleanup procedures characteristics and potential environmental impact of products used in the repair and service of vessels philosophy of sustainability through prevent reduce reuse and recycle procedures for rectifying machinery faults and material defects action to be undertaken in case of significant environmental threat in the workplace reporting procedures for significant environmental damage occurring in the workplace awareness of the environmental effects of tributylin arsenic mercury copper lead hydrocarbons oiloily water and DDT on marine environments cleaner production and ecoefficient strategies to avoid the production of waste

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Plan and manage safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment Plan and manage environmental protection procedures in the business Identify materials used in the repair and service process and assess and manage their environmental impact Effective recycling processes are in place Plan and manage work instructions operating procedures and inspection processes are followed to minimise the risk of injury to self and others maintain a clean workplace prevent damage and wastage of goods equipment and products dispose of waste in accordance with legislative requirements and best practice maintain required production output and product quality Report significant environmental damage or spills Plan and manage operator maintenance on tools and equipment to ensure environmental efficiency Plan and manage operator maintenance on spray booth and spray equipment is conducted where applicable to ensure environmental efficiency Manage effective planning and teamwork related to environmental best practice Developimplement or audit an existing business environmental policy which covers at a minimum waste recycling hazards to stormwater air quality noise energy minimisation and costs Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and the environment
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines Access to a marine repair and service workshop with access to marine or components requiring repair maintenance testing or installing of components andor systems parts washers recycling bins bundedgraded wash bays oil water separator liquid sludge and solid wastes Resources may include pressure washing and facilities for the use of recycled water
Method of assessment	Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency Assessment of this competency is most likely to be project related under real or simulated conditions and require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of process Direct evidence may include certification of compliance of the final outcomeproduct or authorisation for use by a component authority Assessment must confirm the inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstances but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role
