Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required of quality assurance and technical staff to monitor and manage water quality and usage in a food processing operation. This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for maintaining product safety, quality and efficiency of food processing operations that use water by managing their own work and the quality of the work of others within known parameters. This includes using discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources.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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
