Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1.
Replaces superseded equivalent CPPPMT3043A Prepare and present pest management proposals.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 2.
Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to prepare and present pest management proposals to clients that detail pest management plans for complex or high risk operations, such as childcare facilities, educational facilities, hospitals, hotels, food manufacturing premises and large construction projects, as well as estimates for the costs of the proposed services. High risk operations include premises where occupants are more sensitive to pesticide application.
The unit covers applying the results of a pest management assessment, confirming clients’ requirements, analysing the requirements of the pest management plans, calculating the costs of service options, and providing clients with proposals detailing services and benefits, costs and conditions. A comprehensive knowledge of the company’s policies and procedures for developing submissions for pest management plans and costing services is essential.
The unit supports pest management technicians responsible for preparing proposals, including costings, for management of pests and pest activity that impact on the health, safety or amenity of persons or environments in domestic, commercial or industrial premises.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to pest management in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.
