Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Assess the environmental implications of the tasks to be conducted
   • Tasks to be conducted are listed or work instructions are consulted to establish work requirements.
   • Vessel to be maintained is visually inspected to establish any particular potential pollutants.
   • Potential pollutants that may be produced as a result of the work are identified.
2. Select work area and method
   • Possible work areas are identified for the work and selected to conform with marina/slipway codes and local environmental regulations and to minimise risk of pollution.
   • Work method, equipment and materials are selected to minimise impact on the environment.
   • Pollution control measures are identified and implemented.
3. Dispose of potential pollutants
   • Potential pollutants are classified, separated and collected appropriate to the recycling, treatment or storage system adopted by the business.
   • Collected pollutants are disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures.
4. Support implementation of marina and slipway environment management plans
   • Workplace designated procedures for marina and slipway management are followed.
   • Observations of management plan effects and possible implementation improvements are identified and communicated to appropriate personnel.
   • Active, positive involvement in implementation of the environment management plan is consistently applied.

Required Skills

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in identifying sources of potential pollution minimising risks of pollution containing pollution

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of identification of pollutants procedures to minimise risk of pollution procedures for containment of pollution overview of applicable environmental legislation

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	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to control pollution through the assessment of potential for pollution limitation capture and disposal of pollutants in the marine environment and adherence to good practice codes of conduct Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling associated with a marine environment or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

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. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Pollutants	Any substance or emission which is deemed to be an undesirable contaminant including: waste water including bilge/black/grey/storm/cleaning water paint including fumes and overspray anti fouling flakes or solution sand or grit from blasting/cleaning fuel or oil spills discharges of emulsified oil domestic waste noise smoke and fumes Note that some of these pollutants contain heavy metals, various hydrocarbons/solvents and other toxicants
Marina	Buildings, wharves and surroundings where vessels are built, stored and maintained
Slipway	Areas where vessels are removed from the water for repair, maintenance or storage
