High risk operations are those in premises where occupants are more sensitive to pesticide application. The premises may have an existing pest problem or may be seeking to prevent future pest problems.The unit covers clarifying client requirements; inspecting premises to identify the nature and extent of existing, and the risk of future, pest and pest activity; and assessing inspection findings to select and advise the client on pest management methods most suitable to the premises and nature of operations. The unit supports pest management technicians responsible for assessing pest activity that impacts on the health, safety or amenity of persons or environments.
