Summary of review and consultation process
BCITO National Office asked regional staff in July 2003 to comment and suggest changes to the cement and concrete unit standards. These were passed to an internal review group, who in November 2003 met to consider the unit standards and resources for cement and concrete.
In December 2003, the National Advisory Group for Cement and Concrete (NAG) met and considered the report from the internal review group. Additional minor changes to the unit standards suggested by the National Advisory Group were made.
In January 2004, the unit standards were amended, and internal and external consultation sought from the BCITO and National Advisory Group.
A final draft was developed and endorsed by Ian Shepherd, Business Development Manager.
Main changes resulting from the review
The review process resulted in the following changes to the unit standards:
· Unit standards amended to reflect current industry terminology.
· Outdated New Zealand Standards removed and unit standards amended to reflect current New Zealand Standards and legislation.
· Grammar refined.
· Safety requirements related to hazard control procedures that were duplicated in separate performance criteria, within one unit standard, now contained within a generic element for that unit standard.
· References to codes of practice in special notes were deleted.
· Unit standards 12030 and 12031 were classified as D category.
· Unit standards 12028, 12039, 12040, 12041, 12012, 12017, 12018, 12019 had their titles amended.
· Unit standard 12039 credits reduced from 10 to 8 credits.
Unit Standards categorised as category D expire at the end of December 2006.
