Issue Date: June 2024
The operation of specialised liquid chemical and granular application machinery and equipment is likely to be carried out under limited supervision within enterprise guidelines. A high level of individual responsibility is involved to control risks to operators and other exposed workers and the environment, and to minimise the risk of residues levels being exceeded.
This unit covers the process of operating chemical application machinery and equipment and defines the standard required to: prepare the machinery in accordance with manufacturer specifications; operate the machinery in a safe, efficient and controlled manner; conduct pre and post operational checks; perform minor maintenance and fault finding; record work activities.
