This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the usage and treatment of water used in food production stages such as washing and cooling, and the usage and treatment of wastewater.

The unit applies to individuals who work in a food production site, who take responsibility for managing water treatment systems and methods, and provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems. The unit is not designed to meet the competency requirements of the person who specifies water quality standards and/or treatment methods.

No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
