Meat Industry - Further Processing

3103, 3104

 

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

 

Date new versions published                                                          April 2010

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

Feedback from assessors using these unit standards revealed that the process of dealing with runners in a meat processing plant was not carried out by a single operative but split into three main processes.  The tanking and machining tasks were carried out as one process and this was kept separate from the salting and packaging tasks which were carried out by a separate group of workers.  These processes were kept separate for cross-contamination reasons and workers working in one area were not allowed to work in the other area.  For these reasons the industry suggested that salting and packaging be included in a separate unit standard.

 

This change was endorsed by industry and provider stakeholders in January 2010.  Changes to unit standard 3103 have also impacted on unit standard 3104 as it also included salting and packaging this has resulted in both standards being replaced by three separate standards.  These changes were endorsed by the Advisory Group in April 2010.
