Complex and Sensitive Sites Pest Management Training
Complex and Sensitive Sites Pest Management
This unit cluster specifies the skills and knowledge required to assess and advise on Integrated Pest Management options to prevent and manage cockroaches, rodents and other common pests in:
Sensitive operations – where people may be more sensitive to pesticides than the general population, for example schools, kindergartens, childcare centres, hospitals, community health centres and aged care facilities.
Complex operations – at sites where food, beverages or pharmaceuticals are handled, manufactured, produced or packaged under an external food safety and audit regime, plus
The unit cluster includes client consultation, site inspection to gather evidence and identify the nature and extent of pests and pest activity and subsequently developing a comprehensive pest management plan and cost proposal.

Sensitive and Complex Sites – Who Should Enrol?
These units are 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 requires the candidate to be a licensed pest management technician in order to undertake pest management work at sensitive or complex sites.
Pre-Requisites
To qualify for entry into this Sensitive and Complex sites pest management workshop and to enable students to apply their training in an industry environment, students should be licenced pest managers or administration / sales persons that have had some exposure to carrying out pest management in a Sensitive or Complex type facility.
Prior to undertaking pest management activities in high risk or sensitive places an Activity Risk Management Plan (ARMP) must be prepared.
The undertaking of pest management activities in high risk or sensitive places can be undertaken by a licensed PMT who does not hold these competencies where the ARMP has been prepared by a PMT with these competencies and the licenced PMT is working under the general supervision of a PMT with these competencies.
This means the supervising technician must be contactable by phone while the technician is on site performing the pest management service.
