Planned review date December 2012
Summary of review and consultation process
The review was initiated in July 2006 to ensure that the unit standards were fit for purpose and met the needs of industry.
An Industry Advisory Group was established comprising industry sector operators, specialists and association representatives in commercial road transport skills and goods service delivery; training providers and assessors of the unit standards; and Tranzqual ITO staff. Consultation group members also referred the unit standards to others within the sector and reflected their feedback as part of the process.
The resulting draft unit standards were circulated for comment and endorsement via email.
Main changes resulting from the review
Throughout these unit standards:
· legislation in the special notes has been updated;
· definitions have been amended for consistency;
· entry requirements and associated references to licences and/or endorsements in the special notes have been amended for consistency.
Specific unit standards have been changed as follows:
· the level of unit standard 1737 has gone from 4 to 3 to align the unit standard with other driving unit standards requiring comparable skills;
· the title of unit standard 1739 has changed from Load, convey and unload dangerous goods by road transport to Load, convey by road transport, and unload dangerous goods, to more accurately reflect its outcomes;
· performance criteria relating to the inspection of packaging have been added to unit standard 1739;
· a special note for the assessment context has been added to unit standard 1753;
· a performance criterion relating to trailer unloading has been added to unit standards 1763 and 18931;
· terms and references have been standardised in unit standard 18077;
· the structure of unit standard 15159 has been amended to match unit standard 15160 (reviewed October 2006).
