Consultation on Proposed National Occupational Standards for Temporary Structures Background People 1st, the Sector Skills Council with responsibility for the Events Sector, is working with a number of key organisations to redevelop national occupational standards (NOS) for the industry.  The attached information bulletin gives more detail on this important project. When redeveloped, the standards will contain important information on the essential skills and knowledge that staff require and the outcomes they should achieve.  These standards will be approved at a national level and could then be used to inform the content of a National Vocational Qualification at level 3 - aimed at supervisors responsible for erecting and taking down temporary structures. We now have a draft set of national occupational standards and wish to consult on these as widely as possible within the industry. Your Chance to Contribute The following pages contain an outline of the key roles that have been identified and the titles of the appropriate national occupational standards.  If you would like a copy of the old standards please contact Ruth Miller (ruth.miller@people1st.co.uk or 01895 817 046). We would be very grateful if you have a look at the proposed outline and make any comments you feel are appropriate.
