Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to break and prepare carcases and primal cuts to portion control specifications. The products are cut to meet the specifications of the hospitality industry, including restaurants, hotels or airlines.
This unit is applicable to workers in boning rooms and meat retail operations.
All training must be conducted in accordance with Australian meat industry standards and regulations.
All work should be carried out to comply with workplace requirements and hygiene standards.
This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work.
No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence
Candidates must be able to demonstrate cutting, slicing and trimming techniques to workplace requirements and customer specifications for a minimum of two species.
The candidate must:
- select primal cuts for maximum yield and suitability to portion control specification
- demonstrate cutting, slicing and trimming techniques to workplace requirements and customer specifications for a minimum of two species
- demonstrate safe use of bandsaw, as required
- demonstrate sorting procedures to gain maximum yield
- explain and demonstrate hygiene standards and procedures for preparing portion control cuts
- explain and demonstrate QA standards and procedures for preparing portion control cuts
- slice portions evenly
- apply mathematical skills relevant to the task
- explain and demonstrate correct procedure for achieving and maintaining weights while cutting
- identify sub-standard product and rectify appropriately
- demonstrate the ability to listen actively and ask questions to confirm understanding when customers are explaining new cuts and/or specifications
- work with team members
- explain and demonstrate sorting procedures for achieving and maintaining weights while cutting to gain maximum yield
- apply workplace health and safety and regulatory requirements
- use communication skills relevant to the task
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate a factual, technical, procedural and theoretical knowledge of:
- correct procedure for achieving and maintaining weights while cutting
- hygiene standards and procedures for preparing portion control cuts
- QA standards and procedures for preparing portion control cuts
- sorting procedures for achieving and maintaining weights while cutting to gain maximum yield
- pre-portioning processes
- criteria for selection of meat to suit specification
- hygiene requirements for preparation of cuts
- portion specification
- quality requirements for preparation of cuts
- relationship between primal cut size, dimensions, order specification and yield
- value of off-cuts
- workplace health and safety and regulatory requirements
Assessment Conditions
Competency must be demonstrated over time and under typical operating conditions for the enterprise.
Assessment must occur in the workplace under normal operating conditions or in a simulated environment.
The following three forms of assessment must be used:
- quiz of underpinning knowledge
- demonstration in the workplace or simulated environment
- workplace referee or third-party report of performance over time
Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
