Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to receive and transfer bulk (dry) raw materials to storage areas.
The unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision and exercise limited autonomy in a food processing production environment. It typically applies to workers responsible for the operation and monitoring of a dry ingredients transfer process and associated equipment.
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.

Performance Evidence
An individual demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria of this unit.
There must be evidence that the individual has received and transferred bulk (dry) raw materials to storage areas on at least one occasion, including:
- accessing workplace information relating to materials transfer requirements and priorities
- selecting, fitting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
- using workplace records and systems to confirm storage facilities and capacities and determine appropriate routing of materials received (this typically involves use of computer-based systems) and, where required, verifying by physically inspecting storage facilities
- planning and sequencing transfer process to meet storage capacity and production requirements
- preparing equipment for materials transfer, such as confirming that equipment is clean, lines are purged, isolation or lock-outs are cancelled as required, any scheduled maintenance has been completed and safety guards/equipment are correctly positioned
- carrying out procedures to confirm bulk materials meet quality requirements as required by transfer process, such as conducting tests or getting clearance documentation from laboratory/quality personnel
- operating and monitoring transfer process to confirm that correct quantities are transferred at the required times, to the required locations
- locating emergency stop functions on equipment
- responding to and/or reporting equipment failure within level of responsibility
- responding to and/or reporting evidence that bulk materials do not meet quality requirements
- completing the transfer operations, such as purging lines and selecting appropriate equipment/system settings
- completing records of product/materials transfer as required
- maintaining work area to meet housekeeping standards
- using process control and scheduling systems, screens and panels according to enterprise procedures
- following relevant work health and safety requirements.
Knowledge Evidence
An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:
