Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers gaining support for and implementing new and/or updating existing sustainability plans. It also includes the monitoring/measuring of changes resulting from the implementation, comparing these changes to the intended changes and recommending modifications which will result in further improvement.This unit applies inside organisations and their value chains. The unit has been developed with manufacturing operations as a focus. However, because of the range of organisations in a typical manufacturing value chain it may also be applied to other types of organisations.The unit assumes that sustainability improvements have gained all required approvals. The improvements may be in response to planned or current regulatory requirements or may be related to organisation generated improvement proposals.As sustainability related improvements often affect all or major parts of an organisation and will also often include suppliers, distributors and customers, implementation will usually be required to ensure the support of stakeholders across the value chain in order to minimise disruption to the organisation’s business and to maximise benefits. A manager or technical specialist who has a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role would typically undertake this unit, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility. The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit. However, there is a requirement to identify and validate data. The complexity of this requirement will vary according to the type and scale of the organisation’s processes.No 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. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from: a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria. A third party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team. Assessment should use a real project where sustainability improvements are, or have been, implemented/updated in an operational workplace. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept). Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
