Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to set up, operate, monitor, adjust and shut down machinery used for the preparation of raw materials that may be used in human food or animal feed, including pulses and/or animal products.
This unit applies to individuals who work in a food or feed processing environment. It typically applies to the production worker responsible for applying operating principles to the operation and monitoring of machinery to prepare raw materials.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures according to state/territory health and safety, environmental and food safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence
An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.
There must be evidence that the individual has pre-processed raw materials to prepare at least one batch of raw materials ready for further processing, including:
- applying safe work procedures
- following food safety practices
- taking corrective action in response to typical faults and inconsistencies.
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:
- purpose and basic principles of pre-processing raw materials
- basic operating principles of equipment used in the pre-processing of raw materials, including:
- main equipment components
- status and purpose of guards
- equipment operating capacities and applications
- the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation
- the flow of the process and the effect of product output on downstream processes
- quality characteristics to be achieved at the pre-processing stage
- effect of raw material characteristics on process performance
- operating requirements and parameters of machinery used in the pre-processing of raw materials, and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters
- typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment, and early warning signs of potential problems
- techniques used to monitor the process, including inspecting, measuring and testing by the process
- inspection or test points (control points) in the process and the related procedures and recording requirements
- contamination/cross-contamination and food safety risks associated with pre-processing, and related control measures
- common causes of variation in the pre-processing of raw materials, and corrective action required
- health and safety hazards and controls, including limitations of protective clothing and equipment relevant to the work process
- requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the process and workplace production requirements, including emergency and routine shutdowns, and procedures to follow in the event of a power outage
- isolation, lock-out and tag-out procedures and responsibilities required for machinery and equipment used for the preparation of raw materials
- procedures and responsibility for reporting production and performance information
- environmental issues and controls relevant to the process, including waste/rework collection and handling procedures related to the process
- basic operating principles of process control, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment
- cleaning and sanitisation procedures
- recording procedures to ensure traceability.
Assessment Conditions
Assessment of the skills in this unit of competency must take place under the following conditions:
- a food or feed processing workplace or an environment that accurately represents workplace conditions
