Unit of Competency MSS015021 - Measure and report carbon footprint of a product or product class
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge to determine the carbon footprint of a product or product class across the value chain (which may be internal or external to the enterprise). It includes determining the carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent tonnes and calculating the embodied carbon of a product.This unit applies to the requirement to measure the carbon footprint as part of an enterprise’s regulatory obligation, market or social response or for other purposes. This unit applies to a manager or technical specialist who has a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility.Skills covered by this unit may be applied individually or in a team context.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
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.
