Unit of Competency LMTDC2005A - Operate wet cleaning machines
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to load articles into water-based cleaning machines and process to specifications and quality requirements.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to loading articles and involves water-based cleaning machine operation and monitoring procedures.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising for the safe and effective use of wet cleaning processes and technology. This unit also requires the ability to read and apply wet cleaning information that includes counting, weighing, measuring volumes, temperatures using appropriate instruments and gauges, check the quality of outcomes and identify operational problems.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
