Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills required to develop and modify policies and plans for trade waste activities relating to liquid waste discharge to wastewater collection systems.This unit applies to those working as managers in water organisations with responsibility for the management of trade waste policies and plans.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously, supervising staff, while performing sophisticated tasks in a range of familiar contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
