Issue Date: June 2024
This unit is likely to be carried out under limited supervision. It includes the use of safety equipment and procedures, and the repair of the facility and equipment used to store the bulk materials. Bulk materials are handled to industry standards in relation to segregation and storage conditions ensuring minimum loss or damage and optimum returns. Overall progress may be checked periodically. The handling of bulk materials in storage areas will usually follow set routines, methods and procedures. Some discretion and judgement is required in the selection of equipment and materials, organisation of work, and services. The outcomes should be achieved within specified timelines.
This unit covers the process of receiving, moving and sampling bulk materials in a storage area and defines the standard required to: check equipment and storage facilities and identify current or impending faults; test bulk materials for moisture, contamination and quality; conduct silo readings; identify bulk materials pests and damage; handle and manoeuvre equipment; record bulk materials stocks and movements.
