The Seafood Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published July 2008
Planned review date December 2013
Summary of review and consultation process
These unit standards have been reviewed to ensure they meet the current needs of the industry, to recognise the knowledge and skills required to operate in the area of seafood processing. The review was prompted by the expiry of the unit standards, and by feedback from registered assessors and industry. A working party was set up to review the unit standards. The revised unit standards were presented to the relevant industry sector for consultation and the final versions were endorsed.
It was noted that separate unit standards were required, to distinguish between the operators of the Seafood processing equipment and those who were responsible for the setting up, shutting down and the maintenance. New unit standards were developed and the currently registered unit standards were replaced.
Main changes resulting from the review
· The titles of the reviewed unit standards have been changed to reflect the skills covered.
· Elements and performance criteria have been changed to meet the industry requirements, to improve assessability and for consistency.
· New unit standards have been developed to incorporate and demonstrate knowledge of the operation of various types of machinery.
· Unit standards 16716 and 16717 will expire without replacement as they no longer cover skills that are required by industry.
