Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to monitor waste disposal sites. The unit covers preparing for monitoring activities by interpreting documents and consulting with relevant personnel, and organising materials, tools and equipment, and scheduling special testing and sampling activities. The unit also covers monitoring batters, landfill cells and drainage systems, and waste and surrounding environment to ensure appropriate levels of odour, gas and noise and condition of infrastructure.The unit supports those who work in lead roles in a waste management team.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit 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:

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

relationships with team members and supervisor:

working in a team.

Timeframe:

as specified by organisational requirements.

Assessor requirements

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit.

The person must also monitor two different waste disposal sites, including for each:

assessing batters, landfill cells and drainage systems and sampling and assessing drainage liquid for contamination

assessing waste and the surrounding environment, including testing to ensure that odour, gas and noise levels comply with acceptable levels

assessing the condition of waste site infrastructure including fences, roads and signs and identifying maintenance requirements

managing or reporting identified issues from the above assessment activities.

While monitoring above waste disposal sites, the person must:

consult with relevant personnel to identify work activities, and to explain monitoring procedures

prepare for monitoring activities by identifying and organising required materials, tools and equipment, as specified in the range of conditions

organise and schedule testing and sampling activities

use supervisory methods, checks and measures to ensure that work is completed within specified timeframes

follow organisational procedures to work safely and comply with regulatory and legal requirements.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
