2.2.1 An employer may direct an employee to carry out such duties as are within the limits of the employee's skill, competence and training provided that such duties are not designed to promote deskilling.
2.2.1(a) Any direction issued by an employer pursuant to 2.2.1 must be consistent with the employer's responsibilities to provide a safe and healthy working environment.
2.2.1(b) Mixed functions
Where duties performed under 2.2.1 attract different award wage rates, the employee must be paid for the day, at the least, the highest award rate for the work performed. When employed intermittently in this fashion there will be no reduction in wage rates where the employee performs work attracting a lesser award rate. Work performed under this subclause would generally be incidental to an employee's employment classification.

Where appropriate, procedures enabling the continuous running of machines during shift changeovers will be implemented.
