The Forest Industries Training and Education Council (FITEC) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published February 2011
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed as part of a project to develop a new forestry qualification aimed at senior crew foremen and operational managers within contracting crews. The unit standards were reviewed by industry representatives during advisory group meetings with the objective of bringing consistency to the way crew managers plan, manage and carry out quality control of their operations.
Main changes
· Unit standard 1266 was replaced by unit standard 26799 registered in the Forest Operations Management domain.
· Unit standard 19766 was designated expiring as the content of this unit standard was adequately covered in unit standards 24573, 24576, 24582, 24583 and 26799.
· Unit standard 24573 was moved from the Tree Felling domain to the Forest Operations Management domain.
· The title of unit standard 24576 was changed to better reflect the level of responsibility of people achieving this unit standard. This change allowed for differentiation between supervisory and management responsibilities.
· The title of unit standard 24582 was changed to clarify that this unit standard was to be assessed in a ground-based harvesting situation. The unit standard was moved from the Tree Felling domain to the Forest Operations Management domain.
· Unit standard 24583 was moved from the Forest Mechanised Harvesting domain to the Forest Operations Management domain.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2012
