Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify mill operations and technologies in a stockfeed mill.

The unit applies to production operators who are required to recognise and work safely and effectively with stockfeed milling materials, equipment, processes and common risks.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with State/Territory work health and safety, and food safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.

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