Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to clean at heights above two metres from the ground or from a solid floor construction. It covers assessing the extent of the cleaning task and selecting the required equipment, chemicals and cleaning methods. Cleaning at heights may occur indoors or outdoors and can involve the use of specialised equipment to access the area to be cleaned. The unit supports cleaners who work alone or in teams. It applies in a range of commercial and residential work sites. The unit does not apply to work requiring the use of elevated work platforms.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:

equipment:

access equipment required for site

cleaning equipment required for task

fall protection systems required for site

signs and barricades required for task

materials:

cleaning products required for task

specifications:

safe work method statement (SWMS)

physical conditions:

suitable venue with cleaning required at least two metres above ground or a solid floor construction

suitable weather conditions if task performed outdoors

contingencies:

faults in access equipment

relationships with team members and supervisor:

work may be conducted alone or as part of a team.

Timeframe:

as specified by the task.

Assessor requirements

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
