Undertake a worksite atmospheric emissions assessment for resource efficiency
Level
Purpose
4 Credits 5
This unit standard is designed for general atmospheric emission assessments with an aim of minimising waste and using resources efficiently.
People credited with this unit standard are able to: obtain background data for a worksite atmospheric emissions assessment; assess process waste emissions at a worksite; and report on waste and inefficiency aspects of atmospheric emissions at a worksite.
Classification
Available grade
Zero Waste > Resource Efficiency
Achieved

1 The following legislation applies to this unit standard:
Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996;
Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992.
2 Range
Atmospheric emission assessments exclude assessments for compliance with
National Emissions Standards, regional air quality rules, consent applications, and occupational exposure.
3 Definitions
Assessment refers to an evaluation of performance to determine current practice.
Organisation refers to an entire business entity in the private or public sector or a business unit within the organisation.
Outcome 1
Obtain background data for a worksite atmospheric emissions assessment.

Any historical monitoring data relating to the assessment is obtained.
Range monitoring data may include – stack analysis, filter back pressure, previously recorded temperatures.
Outcome 2
Assess process waste emissions at a worksite.
Evidence requirements
2.1 A visual assessment of the site identifies any process waste emissions or potential emissions.
Range visual assessment may include – overspray, smoke colour, solids on roof, waste outside a cyclone, dust in scrubber, heat loss.
2.2 Interpretation of process records identifies any process waste emissions.
Range may include
– pressure drop across scrubber, stack test results, solvent recovery levels.
2.3 Interpretation of complaints and interviews with staff identify any process waste emissions.
Range may include
– odour complaint, pollution prevention complaint, nuisance conditions, historical fugitive discharges, accidents.
Outcome 3
Report on waste and inefficiency aspects of atmospheric emissions at a worksite.
Evidence requirements
3.1 The report identifies any emissions discovered during the visual assessment, record interpretation, and staff interviews; and recommends appropriate minimisation measures for the most significant emissions.
3.2 The report recommends any further investigation required to measure the extent of emissions and identify potential inefficiencies.
3.3 The report meets the organisation’s requirements for data format, type, and detail.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
