UNIT TITLE | Promote safe and effective use of facilities |
APPLICATION | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to promote the safe and effective use of facilities, activities and equipment through the provision of information to patrons. It requires the ability to identify facility use issues, develop information that addresses these, and to use a variety of communication methods to disseminate information.
Information may focus on safety, safety rules, correct use of equipment for existing or new activities and equipment, hygiene, environmental and venue hazards or may target any other identified need. Promoting participation in activities is covered in other units, and this is not the key focus of this unit. This unit applies to any type of sport, fitness, aquatic or recreation organisation including commercial, not-for-profit, community and government organisations. It can be applied to any type of facility. It applies to senior operational staff and managers who work independently or with limited guidance from others, taking responsibility for their own work functions and outputs. The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice. No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
