Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Install grain quality control equipment
   • Procedures for maintaining the quality of stored grain are identified from work plans and from considering climatic conditions, types of storage and general environment
   • Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
   • Aeration equipment is installed in accordance with workplace and site requirements to maintain appropriate grain temperature and moisture content as required
   • Inspection/sampling equipment and procedures are confirmed and implemented in accordance with workplace procedures
   • Equipment is checked to ensure correct set up and operation
   • Equipment is maintained in accordance with workplace requirements and manufacturer instructions
   • Rectification of faults in equipment is undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures
2. Monitor the quality of stored commodities
   • Stored commodities and associated facilities are inspected for sign of damage or potential for damage
   • Required repairs to facilities are reported to appropriate personnel for action
   • Monitoring for pest infestations and climatic contamination/damage to grain is regularly completed in accordance with workplace sampling/inspection procedures
   • Results of sampling/inspections are recorded and reported in accordance with workplace procedures
   • Follow-up action to protect grain quality is undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures
