Application
This is unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to manage preparation and storage of rice seeds for planting.
The unit applies to individuals who are production workers in the rice grain receivals sites and are responsible for receiving paddy rice for preparation and storage for agricultural use. They work under minimal supervision and take responsibility for their own work and that of others in their team.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with State/Territory food safety, and work health and safety, regulations and legislation that apply to the workplace.
No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
