15189

 

As part of the wider review of Business Operations and Development subfield unit standards (see below), unit standard 15189 was revised and reclassified to the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain and standard-setting responsibility was transferred to the New Zealand Industry Training Organisation (NZITO).

 

The unit standard covers the skills and knowledge related to implementing a health and safety plan for a workplace and fits better under the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain which is the responsibility of NZITO.  NZQA therefore transferred responsibility for this unit standard to NZITO, who revised it to make it consistent with other unit standards in the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain.

 

Main changes

 

·      Domain name has changed from Systems and Resources Management to Occupational Health and Safety Practice.

·      Changes were made to explanatory notes, ranges, and evidence requirements to make them consistent with other unit standards in the Occupational Health and Safety Practice domain.

·      SSB details were changed from NZQA to New Zealand Industry Training Organisation.

NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Summary

 

This review of the unit standards in the Systems and Resources Management (SRM) domain is part of the Strategic Business Review, whose goal is to achieve “a coherent network of unit standards for Field Business that is current, fit-for-purpose, and responsive to the changing needs of New Zealand business, businesses, and business people”.

 

Stakeholders were contacted and invited to participate in the review.  Stakeholders included all ITOs whose qualifications included SRM unit standards(s), all providers with consent to assess against SRM unit standards, peak bodies, government agencies, and individual people who expressed an interest.  As a result, a representative review panel was established, including the National Moderator, which met between October 2010 and February 2011.  The panel was supported by an extensive email network who provided feedback throughout the review.  A further consultation took place on the NZQA website in May-June 2011.

 

The review was informed by the results of the Strategic Business Review research, and as a result the unit standards have been simplified and made more flexible, to be more relevant to a wider range of assessment contexts, including small businesses.  There is greater scope for recognition of current competence (RCC) and for assessment in candidates' own contexts, including workplaces.  These unit standards reflect the realities of such assessment contexts where, for example, detailed evidence of preparation and planning is not always available.  These standards focus more explicitly on the actual achievement of the intended outcome, rather than on the process (including planning) used to achieve it.

 

The standards therefore place greater reliance on the context's organisational requirements and on the NZQF levels descriptors as guidelines for assessment.

 

The following unit standards were excluded from this review:

·      7453, 16342, and 19020 - included in the imminent Organisational Direction and Strategy review

·      7461, 7462, and 19030 - review deferred pending MED procurement project

·      23400 - included in the concurrent People Development and Coordination review.

 

Unit standards 8496 and 25463 were included in this review at the request of the People Development and Coordination review panel.

 

Main changes

 

Main changes include:

·      The introduction of a brief descriptor for the domain (in explanatory note 1) to enhance understanding of the purpose of the standards in this domain.

·      The explicit description of the context for assessment.

·      A link to the NZQF levels descriptors.

·      Specification of the context's own organisational requirements as key assessment criteria.

·      Most of the standards now have one outcome, with reduced evidence requirements and a more specific focus.

·      Standard 19028 was replaced by 27523.

·      Standard 25463 was replaced by both 27520 and 27521.

·      Standard 25666 was replaced by 27518.

·      These standards will expire without replacement, as the content is either duplicated in other standards and/or is no longer relevant: 1988, 1992, 1993, 7458, 7463, 8506, 9738, 9739, 9741, 16615, 18664.

·      New unit standards were developed: refer to the table below.

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2014
