record raw material quantity and calculate fee

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

principles and practices of composting raw material assessment

characteristics of a range of raw green waste

enterprise policies and procedures including workplace health and safety procedures

safety risks to self and product posed by contaminants in raw materials and products

standard risk control measures used in the industry to minimise risk associated with handling raw materials and products
