These changes can often be attempted without substantial prior analysis or planning.This unit applies across organisations and the full extent of their value chains. It applies to individuals with work area responsibilities such as team leaders, maintenance staff, technicians and others who have some sustainability responsibility as part of their job.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
