The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          16 July 2015

 

Planned review date                                                                           31 December 2019

 

Summary

 

During 2014, a planned review date of the unit standards in the Lifting Equipment sector occurred.  The review encompassed broad consultation with industry and training provider stakeholders to ensure that the new versions of the standards meet current and future needs.

 

The stakeholders reviewed the unit standards to ensure the levels, credits and outcomes were accurate, relevant to the industry, comply with current legislation, codes of practice and adhere to industry best practices.  The unit standards were amended as required to reflect the comments from wider consultation. The final versions of the unit standards were endorsed by the all stakeholders in September 2014.

 

Main changes

 

·           Unit standards 15757 and 23229 titles were amended to better reflect the content of the outcomes.

·           Purpose statements were amended to reflect changes in the outcomes.

·           New unit standard 28898 was created to enhance the skill set in Industrial Rope Access.

·           Where necessary, changes were made to the explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements of the reviewed unit standards for consistency with industry best practice, changes to legislation, codes of practice and manufacturing instructions.
