Monitor and operate trade waste
Application
This unit applies to monitoring, operating, measuring and reporting on trade waste system performance and process quality control. Work may be conducted in restricted spaces or exposed conditions or controlled or open environments. Inspection of areas may require: interaction and communication with other employees and other authorities identification of corrosion damage implementation of reporting procedures, which may also include procedures for implementation of organisational and statutory requirements Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. The unit is applied according to OHS and workplace practices of the enterprise, which may include: requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment standard operating procedures work instructions oral, written and visual communication quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output housekeeping tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling This unit requires the application of skills associated with initiative, enterprise and problem solving in order to monitor waste operations and maintain conditions of optimal performance. This unit also requires and ability to interpret and apply technical information. |
