Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to conduct an audit for the specific resource of transport and to develop recommendations to improve the sustainability of transport operations.This unit applies to organisations and their value chains that are seeking to determine their current and desirable future use of transport resources as part of a sustainable strategy. The transport audit may be conducted individually or as part of a team. The need for a transport audit may be the result of an organisation’s own decisions to increase the sustainability of its operations or be required for regulatory or other purposes. A manager or technical specialist who has a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role would typically undertake this, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
