Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to receive waste, operate load-shifting equipment to load, move and unload waste, and dispatch waste for transport to another site. It includes monitoring waste receipt, organising equipment, loading and unloading methods suitable for waste types and site conditions and performing operational checks, start-up, park and shut-down procedures. It also includes scheduling waste dispatch activities and monitoring waste movement and containment to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
A person who achieves this unit of competency is expected to take responsibility for completing these tasks with a high degree of self-direction.
This unit forms part of the licensing requirements for operating vehicles, plant and equipment used in waste management. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
