Summary of review and consultation process

 

This unit standard has been reviewed as part of an overall review of the National Certificate in Electricity Supply Line Mechanic qualifications.  An industry steering group convened to undertake this review found that this standard did not adequately cover the actual operation of an elevating work platform (EWP), so an element has been added which covers operation.  In addition the coverage of EWPs by standard setting bodies has been discussed, as a result of which the standard has been further revised to ensure it is specific to the operation of EWPs within the electricity supply industry.
