Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate a bar and coder system.This unit is suitable for operators, labourers, counter hands in all sectors of the meat industry where bar and coding systems are used to identify product and facilitate trace-back.All work should be carried out to comply with workplace and hygiene requirements.This unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision, exercise limited autonomy and have some accountability for their own work.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.This Unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat industry standards and regulations.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency must be demonstrated over time and under typical operating conditions for the enterprise.

Assessment must occur in the workplace under normal production conditions.

As a minimum, the following three forms of assessment must be used:

quiz of underpinning knowledge

workplace demonstration

workplace referee or third-party report of performance over time

Assessors must satisfy the current standards for RTOs.
