The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation (NZITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          August 2008

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2013

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

NZITO has developed a set of new unit standards for the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain.  As a result of this development the unit standards listed above have been designated by the industry as no longer fit for purpose as there is a preference for generic health and safety unit standards that are transportable rather than sector specific unit standards.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         The unit standards listed above have been designated as expiring.

·         New unit standards have been developed (listed in the table at the end of this report); they are recommended alternatives for the expiring unit standards.

 

Unit standards categorised as category D expire at the end of December 2010.
