Definitions
Complex loads are loads used in the petrochemical industry, for example – pods,
containers, baskets, valves, pumps, pipework.
They have the following
characteristics with or without set lifting points: unequal weight distribution, eccentric
loading, irregular shape, and irregular proportions.
Site requirements mean the site specific documented methods for performing work
activities and include health, safety, environmental, and quality management
requirements. They may refer to manuals, codes of practice, or policy statements.

Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
