Hanga-Aro-Rau (H-A-R) Manufacturing, Engineering and Logistics Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2023
Planned review date December 2028
Summary
H-A-R reviewed the meat processing unit standards listed above to ensure they continued to be fit-for-purpose for the animal product industry.
H-A-R carried out the review to better align these unit standards to the training requirements of the animal products industry and the graduate profile outcomes of the New Zealand Certificate qualifications/micro-credential/ NZQA registered training scheme, relating to animal product examination for meat processing. Providers with consent to assess together with industry and subject matter experts provided feedback and input into the review of these unit standards. All unit standards listed have been approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) as meeting their requirements and that of New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS).
Main changes
· All reviewed unit standards were updated to match current legislation.
· Titles of unit standards 27751, 27752 were changed to replace ‘understanding’ (subjective) with ‘demonstrate knowledge of’ for clarity.
· Title of unit standard 27759 was changed to reflect what is required of post-mortem examination to meet the regulator requirements.
· Title of unit standard 30317 was changed to reflect the animal product notice wording for consistency. The guidance information was also updated to reflect the animal product notice wording.
· Unit standard 27752 now includes evidence requirement for working with live animals.
· Unit standard 30289 now includes evidence requirement for communicating animal examination findings to the processing plant.
· Ante-mortem unit standards 30297-30305 have reduced credit value due to recognition of prior learning from prerequisite species-specific post-mortem unit standards. Performance criteria 2.3 related to ear tags have been removed where applicable in the latest version.
· Post-mortem unit standards or similar skills and knowledge as approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) are required to be achieved prior to ante-mortem unit standards. These are now set as prerequisites in line with MPI notices.
