Context and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices

Guidance information for assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units


Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
