Domain

ID

Responsibility for the unit standard listed above has been transferred from the Horticulture
Industry Training Organisation (Horticulture ITO) to the Electricity Supply Industry Training
Organisation (ESITO), which has completed the review of the unit standard.
Date new version published
November 2010
Planned review date
December 2014
Summary
The standard setting body for this unit standard has been the Horticulture ITO, but the
content of the standard deals with working around electricity supply lines, which is the
responsibility of ESITO.
An agreement has, therefore, been reached between the two industry training
organisations whereby the standard setting responsibility for this standard will be
transferred from the Horticulture ITO to ESITO.
Unit standard 17152 was reviewed and updated following extensive consultation with
personnel working within the vegetation control sector of the industry. The review also
identified the need for a separate standard for people undertaking tree work inside the
insulated tool zone near electricity supply lines.
Main changes
 Standard setting responsibility for standard 17152 was transferred from the Horticulture
ITO to ESITO and the standard was reclassified.
 Amendments were made to level, evidence requirements, and range statements of
standard 17152.
