Elements of Competency	Performance Criteria
Element: Plan and organise the assessment.	Need for assessing waste generation and management in a residential building is clarified with client. Effective communication strategies are employed to assist in establishing rapport with client and in responding to client questions and concerns. Assessment is planned in line with commonwealth, state or territory, and local government legislation and regulations, and industry ethical and conduct standards. Issues relating to state and territory legislation and regulations and industry ethical and conduct standards are identified and clarified with client. Plan is established for the assessment in line with enterprise practice and client requirements. Potential hazards are identified to ensure risks are suitably managed. Assessment activities are planned to ensure they do not compromise the health and safety of self and others. Assessment documentation is prepared in a manner consistent with enterprise practice. Tools, equipment and other requirements for the assessment are identified and arrangements are made to ensure their availability on day of assessment. Client is advised of information that should be obtained prior to assessment and details of assessment are confirmed. Authority to proceed is obtained from client prior to commencement and reconfirmed as appropriate during the assessment.
Element: Gather and analyse data on household waste.	Information to be gathered on household waste generation and management is confirmed. Visual assessment and measurement of household waste disposed of through municipal waste and recycling containers are conducted to determine composition and quantity of waste components. Information on the composition and quantity of other forms of household waste is gathered through discussion with resident and observations made during inspection of the residence. Visual findings, measurements and other data are recorded by waste type and quantity observed. Information onbehaviour and preferences of household members that impact on waste generation and management is gathered through discussion with resident and observations made during inspection of the residence. Information is verified for accuracy and recorded using the relevant data collection tool. Information is analysed to identify key characteristics of household waste and waste management practices.
Element: Assess options for reducing household waste and associated emissions, and improving waste management.	Sources of technical advice on household waste management are identified. Government rebates and other assistance programs for reducing household waste and improving household waste management are identified. Options for reducing household waste and associated emissions and improving waste management are assessed based on type and ownership of building, user behaviour and preferences, availability of rebates and other assistance programs, cost and practicality. Cost of options for reducing waste and improving waste management are estimated in line with enterprise procedures.
Element: Report outcomes of waste assessment.	Results and recommendations, along with supporting evidence, are collated and documented in line with enterprise and client requirements. Estimated cost of proposed recommendations, associated reductions in household waste and emissions, and improvements in household waste management are documented in line with enterprise procedures. Results and recommendations, including estimated costs, are explained to client in line with enterprise, legislative and client requirements.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit. In particular, the person should demonstrate the ability to: collect and analyse information on household waste use visual assessment and measurement techniques to determine the composition and quantity of household waste comply with OHS requirements when conducting household waste assessment provide advice on ways to improve waste management in the home apply knowledge of: trends in household waste ways of gathering information on household waste ways of improving household waste management.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context and is to comply with relevant regulatory and Australian standards' requirements. Resource implications for assessment include: data collection tools relevant codes, standards and government regulations access to residential buildings in order to conduct a household waste assessment technology suitable for generating reports technical reference library with current publications on: household waste generation manufacturers' product information on household waste management technologies strategies for waste minimisation, recycling and reuse.
Method of assessment	Assessment methods must: satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the CPP07 Property Services Training Package include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.
Guidance information for assessment	This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function, for example: CPPHSA4001A Assess household energy use CPPHSA4003A Assess household water use CPPHSA4004A Assess thermal performance of existing residences using non-rating tools and techniques. Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.
