Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge to monitor critical, quality and regulatory control points related to a person’s work responsibilities. This unit of competency also covers support for ongoing improvement of the workplace hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) plan.

This unit of competency applies to production operators and laboratory assistants in the food processing and manufacturing sectors. Control points refer to those key points in a work process that must be monitored and controlled.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. However, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements for laboratory operations exist, so local requirements should be checked. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied.
