The operator must also ensure a person is available to humanely kill the livestock during the operating hours of the depot or saleyard. If a person does kill livestock at the depot or saleyard, the person must have the relevant knowledge, skills and experience to kill the livestock humanely, or be under the direct supervision of person who has that knowledge, skills and experience to kill the livestock humanely, unless— the livestock needs to be killed to prevent undue suffering to the livestock; and for a person requiring supervision—there would be an unreasonable delay until the supervision could be provided. A person is under direct supervision of another person (the supervisor ) if the supervisor— instructs the person about the killing; and is on the premises where the killing is carried out while the killing is carried out; and is available to give additional instruction to the person about the killing while the killing is carried out; and evaluates the carrying out of the killing by the person, including by regularly personally checking on the person. If a person does kill livestock at the depot or saleyard, the person must take reasonable steps to confirm the death of the livestock immediately after believing the livestock has been killed.
