Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to carry out basic workplace calculations. It includes preparing estimates of mass, size and volume of loads, conducting calculations and reviewing the estimates against the calculations.Calculations are carried out as an integral part of routine work in the context of the workplace. Work is performed under some supervision, generally within a team environment.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
