Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement work instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). It addresses the planning and consultation process for development, validation and implementation of SOPs. Work instructions and SOPs will be presented in written form and may utilise photographs or illustrations to emphasise a particular characteristic or feature required in the performance of the task. Format is sequential and uses a Plain English approach.Work Instructions and SOPs will usually be developed by Quality Assurance Officers, regulators or supervisors in the meat processing industry, and will frequently address regulatory or customer requirements.This unit applies to individuals who take responsibility for their own work and for the quality of others’ work within known parameters.This unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in the workplace.

A minimum of three different assessment tasks must be used.

As a minimum, assessment must consist of:

project writing, rewriting, or modifying existing work instructions or SOPs (work or scenario based), completing a validation process and developing an implementation plan

workplace referee’s report.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
