Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to develop, plan and implement systems designed to manage environmental practices and processes in either residential or commercial projects.

It includes establishing soundly based environmental management systems and strategic problem solving necessary to produce environmental outcomes that meet the legislative requirements of statutory authorities.

This unit of competency applies to builders, project managers and related construction industry professionals who use their technical and communication skills to analyse, plan, design and evaluate approaches to unpredictable problems and are responsible for managing environmental practices and processes on building or construction projects.

Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
