Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop a pest management plan that applies to a large or regional level. It also describes the skills and knowledge required to gain agreement and commitment from stakeholders to implement the plan.Pest management plans are used by land managers who practice sustainable land management principles and require a collaborative approach with neighbouring landholders.This unit applies to individuals who take personal responsibility and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. They demonstrate deep knowledge in specific technical areas, are able to analyse and synthesise information and analyse, design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, all units of competency dealing with animals in the AHC Training Package have the requirements for animals to be handled humanely to minimise stress and discomfort.
