Unit of Competency | AHCPMG403A - Develop monitoring procedures for the local pest management strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit covers developing monitoring procedures for the local pest management strategy and defines the standard required to: determine the lifecycle, distribution and loss of production caused by the pest; document the economic losses and environmental risks and impacts of the pest; develop control measures based on a combination of strategies to control the pest at its most vulnerable stage with minimal environmental impact; establish the costs and benefits of implementing the selected control strategies; select management options to eradicate or manage the pest across a local region; negotiate an action plan to implement the management options across an area or region. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to regional pest management officers and is likely to be undertaken independently, with reference to specialist advice. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following: determine the lifecycle, distribution and loss of production caused by the pest document the economic losses and environmental risks and impacts of the pest develop control measures based on a combination of strategies to control the pest at its most vulnerable stage with minimal environmental impact establish the costs and benefits of implementing the selected control strategies select management options to eradicate or manage the pest across a local region negotiate an action plan to implement the management options across an area or region. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
analyse local problems plan strategically for local context report on and document analytical and strategic activities prepare monitoring schedules use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities. |
Required knowledge |
pest biology land management processes production processes relevant legislative and regulatory requirements environmental protection legislation monitoring procedures. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. | |
Relevant legislation and local regulations may include: | environmental protection vertebrate pests noxious weeds use of firearms (including licensing requirements and exemptions) humane treatment of animals activities in nature reserves and heritage areas poisons and veterinary substances farm chemicals identification and reporting of suspected outbreaks of exotic disease Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations and common law principles relating to property, stock, duty of care and due diligence. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
