This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to effectively analyse the workplace in relation to environmentally sustainable work practices and to implement improvements and monitor their effectiveness. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may be applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Investigate current practices in relation to resource usage
- 1.1 Environmental regulations applying to the organisation are identified
- 1.2 Procedures for assessing compliance with environmental regulations are assessed
- 1.3 Information on environmental and resource efficiency systems and procedures is collected and, where appropriate, provided to the work group
- 1.4 Current usage of resources is measured and documented by members of the work group
- 1.5 Current purchasing strategies are analysed and documented
- 1.6 Current work processes are analysed to access information and data and assist in identifying areas for improvement
2Set target improvements
- 2.1 Input is sought from stakeholders, key personnel and specialists
- 2.2 External sources of information and data are accessed as required
3Implement performance improvement strategies
- 3.1 Techniques/tools are sourced to assist in achieving targets
- 3.2 Continuous improvement strategies are applied to own work area of responsibility, and ideas and possible solutions are communicated to the work group and management
- 3.3 Environmental and resource efficiency improvement plans for own work group are integrated with other operational activities and implemented
- 3.4 Where appropriate, staff members are trained in new procedures to facilitate environmental and resource efficiency improvements
- 3.5 Suggestions and ideas about environmental and resource efficiency management are sought from stakeholders and acted upon where appropriate
- 3.6 Costing strategies are implemented to fully value environmental assets
4Monitor performance
- 4.1 Outcomes are documented and feedback is provided to key personnel and stakeholders
- 4.2 Strategies are evaluated
- 4.3 New targets are set, and new tools and strategies are investigated and applied

RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
Compliance includes:
meeting relevant federal, state and local government laws, by-laws and regulations
Purchasing strategies may include:
influencing suppliers to take up environmental sustainability
Stakeholders, key personnel and specialists may include:
individuals and groups both inside and outside the organisation that have some direct interest in the enterprise's conduct, actions, products and services, including:
employees at all levels of the organisation
customers
suppliers
other organisations
key personnel within the organisation, and specialists outside it who may have particular technical expertise
Environmental and resource efficiency plans may include:
addressing sustainability initiatives with reference to standards, guidelines and approaches such as:
ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems
Life Cycle Analyses
Global Reporting Initiative
Ecological Footprint Assessment
Triple Bottom Line reporting
Product Stewardship
initiating and/or maintaining appropriate enterprise procedures for operational energy consumption, including stationary energy and non stationary (transport)
Suggestions may include ideas that help to:
prevent and minimise risks and maximise opportunities such as:
minimise usage of fuel or use alternative forms of energy where appropriate
reduce emissions of greenhouse gases
reduce use of non-renewable resources
make more efficient use of energy
maximise opportunities to re-use and recycle materials
identify strategies to offset or mitigate environmental impacts, e.g. purchasing of carbon credits
express purchasing power through the selection of suppliers with improved environmental performance e.g. purchasing renewable energy
eliminate the use of hazardous and toxic materials
