This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. |
PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
The qualifying learner achieving this unit standard in combination with context expertise standard(s) will be able to monitor the construction of two types of on-site dry sanitation technologies, namely Ventilated Improved Pit Toilets (VIPs) and Urine Diversion Systems (UDSs), and establish whether the construction work meets the required quality standards. Learners accessing this standard will be working in sanitation project teams. This will contribute towards effective sanitation project management and the delivery of proven generic, durable, robust, good quality, cost effective, technology options to people. Achieving this unit standard will enhance the efficiency of the qualifying learner and advance his / her own expertise and employability in water and other related sectors. |
