This unit describes the skills and knowledge to interpret and apply relevant environmental legislation, codes and standards to activities associated with a work area, site, project or program. Personnel are required to access, review and interpret complex legal and technical documents, develop and revise site or project-specific environmental management procedures, explain the implications of these documents to site personnel, monitor work activities to ensure compliance and prepare reports.

This unit applies to environmental site coordinators, environmental managers and senior environmental officers working in all industry sectors. They may also work under the supervision of an environmental scientist or engineer, site manager or workplace environmental manager.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
