Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to transport and store polymeric chemicals in underground coal mining, including interpreting chemical labels, storing hazardous materials and recording storage details.

The unit applies to those working in operational roles who are involved in loading, unloading and transporting polymeric chemicals both on the surface and to and from application sites in underground coal mines. They generally work under minimal supervision to undertake a broad range of tasks in varied work contexts, using some discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures.

Licensing, legislative and certification requirements that apply to this unit can vary between states, territories, and industry sectors. Users must check requirements with relevant body before applying the unit.
