Recommendations and Exemplars for the design of :

Learning/Curriculum

The difference between ongoing maintenance and preventative maintenance must be explained.

Learners should have the opportunity of going through a workplace and identifying potential hazards and ways to minimise the hazards.

An inspection schedule should be developed that ensures maintenance is being properly carried out.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
