Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to follow environment policies and procedures to protect the environment when transporting waste. The unit covers applying techniques for minimising risk to the environment when transporting waste, and identifying and communicating environmental issues and waste minimisation strategies based on the waste management hierarchy.The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a waste management team.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit of competency in some States where a licence is required to operate various plant, vehicles or equipment used to transport, shift, load, unload, lift, compact or otherwise process waste. 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.

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

equipment:

personal protective equipment (PPE), as specified by organisational requirements

vehicle for transporting waste, as specified by organisational requirements

relationships with team members and supervisor:

working under limited supervision.

Timeframe:

as specified by organisational requirements.

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.
