Performance Evidence
Evidence of the ability to:
- analyse information from a range of sources to identify current procedures, practices and compliance requirements in relation to environmental and resource sustainability
- consult and communicate with relevant stakeholders to seek input and encourage engagement with developing and implementing sustainability improvements, encourage feedback and suggestions and report on outcomes
- plan and organise work group activities to:
- measure current resource usage
- solve problems and generate ideas for improvements
- evaluate and implement strategies to improve resource usage
- plan, implement and integrate improvements into operations
- meet environmental requirements
- apply continuous improvement approach to sustainability performance
- apply change management techniques to support sustainability performance.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
- identify relevant internal and external sources of information and explain how they can be used to identify sustainability improvements
- explain the compliance requirements for the work area with reference to legislation, regulations, codes of practice and workplace procedures that relate to environmental and resource issues
- outline common environmental and energy efficiency issues within the industry
- give examples of benchmarks for environmental and resource sustainability that are relevant to the organisation
- outline organisational systems and procedures that relate to environmental and resource sustainability improvements including:
- supply chain, procurement and purchasing
- quality assurance
- making recommendations and seeking approvals
Assessment Conditions
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the sustainability field of work and include access to:
- relevant legislation, regulations, standards and codes
- relevant workplace documentation and resources
- case studies and, where possible, real situations
- interaction with others.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
Working in teams
Scenario:
You own a small caf. Your electricity gas and water bills are very igh compared to the rest of the businesses around you according to the average consumption. You need to assess your business and come up with ideas as how to reduce the costs.
The area your business is in has a community that are very aware of the environment. How can you improve and let the community know what you are doing to gain their support?
What are the WHS issues if any that you have found when doing your review. Make a risk assessment template with all of the concerns.
Come up with a plan, with all of the information you have collected, with things that need to be done first to last in importance- for instance if there is a leak in the kitchen from one of the pipes and it is causing a slipping hazard then this will need to be addressed immediately, which in turn will reduce our water consumption.
