PART A
1. Identify the environmental regulations which apply in your local government area
relevant to your workplace activities and provide details what is covered by these
regulations and by-laws.
2. Identify any resources and initiatives which are in place or available in your state
to help business to reduce their waste and use resources more efficiently.
Waste assessment
Improve purchasing
Improve storage
Conserve energy
Conserve water
Preserve waterways
Reduce waste
Reduce risk
Improve information
Assessment Task

3. List 1 initiative that is relevant to your sector within the Tourism, Hospitality and
Events Industry and list all resources which are available through these
initiative(s). Outline how these would be used.
This program was developed by restaurant and caterers’ association of Australia and
it was intended to recognise restaurants and catering businesses that are doing their
best to reduce their CO2 emission. This program requires the businesses to
Use natural gas or a minimum of 20% green electricity to power their stoves
Sending their organic waste to compost
Recycling paper, plastic, glass, metal as much as possible
Using energy efficient equipment and fixtures
Using recycled biodegradable and non toxic supplies
4. Create a table, listing all energy resources that are used in your workplace and
outline for which work processes these are used.
1. Take the current meter reading for gas, electricity and water.
Assessment Task
BSBSUS401 Implement and Monitor Environmentally Sustainable Practices Page 8 of 19
2. Create a table or list and enter all equipment and appliances used in one specific
department (for example Kitchen, F&B etc.), and measure the consumption of
electricity as listed on the appliance labels.
3. Measure the flow rate for water of various taps using the formula “Flow rate =
Volume/Time (L/min)”
4. Inspect the type of lighting used and determine the KW/H (1000 Watt = 1 KWH)
used in that department based on typical or given workplace practices during
operation.
Assessment Task

5. Inspect the provisions for recycling.
6. Determine the intervals of waste collection and determine the size of the
cubicle(s) used.
7. This task is performed outside: Wearing gloves and using tongs, physically
inspect the contents of garbage bins from your department and inspect the
approximate waste for each category (Glass, paper, card board, green waste
etc.) and express these in percent (approximately).

8. Determine the energy consumption ratings, use and settings of air conditioners
and heaters where applicable and document the potential KWH usage for these
units.
9. Determine the resources required for any plants, landscaping, or outside areas
as relevant.
Things Practices
Grass Cut them once a month
Potted Plants Water three times a week
Trees Water twice a week/ trim once a year
10. List the purchasing strategies which are currently in place including
environmentally sustainable approaches; carbon footprint considerations (for
example use local supplies from growers etc.)
11. Identify any workplace environmental and occupational hazards you may
encounter during your resource analysis.
12. Identify any breaches or potential breaches for environmental practices you have
encountered in the audited area during your project and outline the issues.

C. Setting efficiency targets
1. Analyse the results you have obtained for usage of resources and compare these
results against:
The benefits of switching in some areas or using other measures are the following
Save Money
Save Energy
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Reduce pollution
Assessment Task
BSBSUS401 Implement and Monitor Environmentally Sustainable Practices Page 12 of 19
2. Set your targets in a table or spreadsheet based on your findings of the analysis.
3. Outline the provisions for communication this would require with key stakeholders
relevant to your position and workplace and how this will be achieved. Include a
template for an agenda and table for entering actions.

PART B
For this part of the assessment project you are required to write and environmental
resource efficiency improvement plan which details the following:
Reducing electricity bills, water bills, waste management, and set a meeting how we
can reduce it more.
There are a lot of method with which we can reduce the cost of businesses like
reduce water bills by storing rain water or gray water for toilets and all and that is
why this overview has been undertaken.
3. The resource areas and targets you have established based on Section 3, Part A;
Use less energy on washing machines, reduce electricity bills and monitor bills of
water, electricity and wastage and always sets target to reduce the waste.
4. The measures and tools you will implement to achieve these targets;
Rain water tanks, safe water on tabs, solar panels. Dim the lights.
Staff training and preferable meeting with an external source like a guest speaker
with which we can give them a good overview about our target and what we want to
achieve in the future.
6. Strategies you will use for purchasing and selection of supply chains;
7. A calculation which will provide information as to the potential savings that can be
achieved over time, given the investment;
For example:
Use of e.g. 10 light bulbs rated at 0.060 KWH in Kitchen area could be replaced with
10 energy saving bulbs rated at 0.012 KWH which would represent an energy saving
of (10 * 48 = 0.480KWH) 0.480 KW per hour x $ 0.28 = $ 0. 1344 per hour or at 10
hours per day: $ 0.1344 x 10 = $1.35/ Day.
For a 7 day operation this then equates to a potential saving of $ 492.75 minus the
proportion of the cost of the energy saving bulb @ $ 7.50 /5000 hours ($1.50 per
1000 hours use)versus an ordinary bulb @ $ 0.75 /1000 hours lifespan.
Assessment Task
BSBSUS401 Implement and Monitor Environmentally Sustainable Practices Page 14 of 19
10 Showerheads in guest rooms rated A could be replaced by ones rated AAA with a
potential saving of (10 * 55 L = 550 L ) 550 Litres per day etc. (0.55 x 1.80 = $
0.99/day x 365 = $ 361.35/year) minus the initial cost for purchasing the more
efficient showerheads (for the first year only)
11. Examples how you will evaluate strategies and make adjustments to the
improvement plan.
Financial plans, agenda, tracking electricity bills, use water calculator and regular
staff meetings regarding save electricity, water and waste along with buying high
rated devices to save electricity.

Calculate the daily total amount of rubbish from each department ‘Area’
Total
Some items can be combined such as glass, metal, plastic, paper & milk cartons
– referred to as ‘co-mingled’ waste. (but, no food scraps, polystyrene or plastic
bags)
Calculate the required bin size and frequency of collection – e.g. if your property
produced 242.5 litres of ‘co-mingled waste’ per week then 1 x 250 litre bin should
be sufficient with a once a week collection frequency.
