Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate a liquid waste collection tanker (the ‘vehicle’).It includes following safety requirements, loading product into vehicle, unloading product and completing documentation.These vehicles can be used to collect septic waste, grease trap waste and industrial liquid wastes.Vehicle must be operated in compliance with relevant state/territory and traffic authority vehicle licence requirements and regulations.Vehicle is operated with limited or no supervision, with accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes.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.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a liquid waste collection tanker

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.

Use of a simulator is not suitable for final assessment of this unit of competency.
