Summary of review and consultation process

 

These Seafood Risk Management unit standards were reviewed to reflect changes within the industry and to meet industry requirements.  An advisory group met in July 2009 to ensure that they were clear, logical and fit for purpose.  These unit standards were presented to the advisory group for consultation and the final versions were endorsed.  With amendments, they continue to meet industry requirements and demand.
