Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to ensure work health and safety (WHS) procedures are followed in environments where computers are predominately used, but which may include limited access to chemicals and solvents.It applies to individuals who perform a range of mainly routine tasks in various sectors of the printing and graphic arts industry, using limited practical skills and fundamental knowledge in a defined context. They generally work under direct supervision.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to appropriate documentation and resources normally used in the workplace.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
