Determine equine oral function efficiency
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to determine equine oral function efficiency. It includes knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the equine head including oral structures and dentition, and how they relate to general health and in particular, to dental conditions and disease.
The unit applies to individuals who use practical skills and knowledge to provide equine dental care and treatments across various equine industry sectors.
Legislative and regulatory requirements, including work health and safety and animal welfare, apply to the scope of work of equine dental service providers, and vary according to state/territory jurisdictions. Users must check with the relevant regulatory authority before delivery.
NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
