Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to carry out basic routine workplace calculations.
It includes carrying out required mathematical operations; preparing basic estimates of mass, size and volume; and interpreting basic graphical representations of mathematical information. It also includes calculations for routine industry-related tasks using manual and electronic processes.
It specifically includes the skills and knowledge needed to estimate/calculate manual load shifting requirements. Calculations are carried out as an integral part of routine work in the context of the workplace concerned.
Work is performed under some supervision, generally within a team environment.
Work involves the application of established mathematical principles and techniques in day-to-day work activities.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
