Unit of Competency FBPGRA4004 - Establish and supervise dust control procedures in a grain processing enterprise
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to establish and supervise dust control procedures in a grain milling enterprise. It includes procedures for the identification of risk factors, establishment of preventative and hygiene measures, use of explosion relief and fire suppression systems, and arranging training for employees.The unit applies to individuals who manage and supervise in grain-related enterprises, including flour and stockfeed mills and grain storage facilities who have responsibility for the development and detailed implementation of dust control and dust explosion prevention strategies.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment Tasks

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.
