This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to assess and select a pest management vehicle and equipment necessary to deliver pest management services to clients. It requires an understanding of the services to be delivered and involves specifying equipment that can support those services and which complies with strict legislative and public health and safety requirements. The unit includes reviewing product specifications and marketing materials for pest management equipment, and establishing hiring, leasing or purchasing arrangements for acquisition.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

This unit forms part of the licensing requirements for people engaged in pest management in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
