Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for and monitor anaesthesia in animals for non-surgical and tissue collection procedures under supervision.The unit applies to individuals who work as junior or assistant level animal technicians working under the supervision of a senior or more experienced staff member. All work is performed where required and when appropriate, as directed by a supervisor. Animal technicians administering anaesthesia operate under and must comply with legislative requirements and the Australian Code of Practice for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes as well as protocols, policies and procedures set down by the institution's Animal Ethics Committee (AEC).No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.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. | ||
