The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit
standard listed above.
Date new version published
April 2011
Planned review date
31 December 2016
Summary
Unit standard 17591 was reviewed as a result of the change in terminology used in the
health sector from Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS) to the prevention and
management of Discomfort, Pain and Injury (DPI) in the workplace. This unit standard
was therefore updated to reflect current terminology and practice. The final version was
endorsed by the Industrial Health and Safety Advisory Group in November 2010.
Main changes
 The title, outcome statements, explanatory notes, evidence requirements, and range
statements were updated.
 A new outcome statement was added to the unit standard and the credit value
increased from 4 to 8.
