This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to safely identify, catch and control an individual greyhound, after a race or trial, and report incidents and observations.

The unit applies to individuals who are authorised to perform the duties of a greyhound catcher, at a trial or race.

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.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Refer to your state or territory Controlling Body or Principal Racing Authority for current licence or registration requirements.
