Unit of Competency AHCLSK322 - Transport farm produce or bulk materials
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to transport farm produce or bulk materials. All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety, biosecurity legislation and codes of practice. This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for own work including limited responsibility for the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources and complete routine activities.Note: relevant vehicles licences are required when farm produce or bulk materials are transported on public roads. This unit does not apply to livestock transportRelevant vehicles licences are required when farm produce or bulk materials are transported on public roads.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency is to be assessed in the work place or workplace and simulated environments that accurately reflect performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs to the Assessment Conditions.
