Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and
Logistics Training Package.
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to carry out basic routine workplace
calculations.
It includes carrying out required mathematical operations; preparing basic estimates of mass,
size and volume; and interpreting basic graphical representations of mathematical
information. It also includes calculations for routine industry-related tasks using manual and
electronic processes.
It specifically includes the skills and knowledge needed to estimate/calculate manual load
shifting requirements. Calculations are carried out as an integral part of routine work in the
context of the workplace concerned.
Work is performed under some supervision, generally within a team environment.
Work involves the application of established mathematical principles and techniques in
day-to-day work activities.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of
publication.
