Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to implement a management plan to control timber pests. The unit covers reviewing existing reports relating to pest activity at the premises and designing, implementing and monitoring a management plan to control timber pests. The selection of appropriate equipment, chemicals, materials and methods is essential for performing the task effectively.The unit supports pest management technicians responsible for controlling timber pests and timber pest activity that impact on the health, safety or amenity of persons or environments in domestic, commercial or industrial premises.Timber pests may occur in internal and external surfaces of buildings, landscaping, recreational equipment, timber fences, furniture, railing, bridges and stairs. Types of timber pests vary in different geographic regions and this unit applies to those timber pests found in the geographic area.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to pest management in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
