Summary

 

Feedback from industry and moderators indicated that changes were required to the unit standard to assist with its interpretation and to remove barriers to completion.  A change was required to the entry requirements as the current prerequisite was a barrier to completion for some candidates.  A range statement was added to assist with interpretation of the associated performance criteria, and a new theory performance criterion was added to provide the context for assessment of the remaining practical performance criteria.

 

Main changes

 

·      Prerequisite unit standard 3789 has been removed.

·      A range has been added to performance criteria 1.3 to indicate a list of the possible hazards that are required to be identified and dealt with.

·      Performance criterion 2.1 has been added to cover knowledge of critical components and equipment.
