The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation (NZITO) has completed the change of standard setting responsibility and review of the unit standard above.
Date new versions published August 2011
Planned review date December 2016
Summary
In January 2011 the Retail Institute approached the New Zealand Industry Training Organisation to see if it would be prepared to take responsibility for unit standard 11961 as they considered it would be a better fit in the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain. This suggestion was put to the Health and Safety Advisory Group who delayed the decision until the Approved Handler unit standards were developed to determine there would be no overlap. While there is some similarity with the unit standards developed for Approved Handlers the target audience is completely different as unit standard 11961 is designed for a general audience while the Approved Handler unit standards require a greater depth of knowledge and skills in specific hazardous substances classes. The unit standard has been reviewed to make it generic to all industries that might access the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain. The changes were endorsed by the Health and Safety Advisory Group and the Retail Institute in June 2011.
Main changes
· Standard Setting Body details have been changed from Retail Institute to NZITO.
· Classification has been changed from Retail and Distribution Core Skills domain to Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain.
· Outcomes, evidence requirements and ranges have been made generic to enable greater use by all industries.
