Approved Transitional Facility (ATF) Operator Training
At IVS, we are committed to seeing New Zealand businesses succeed through the right biosecurity educational training, endorsed by our position as New Zealand’s leading transitional facility training provider.
Effective of 1 February 2009, all MAF-approved transitional facilities must have a certified operator, and in some cases a deputy operator, to maintain the overall responsibility for their biosecurity operational aspects. An Operator is the designated person whose name appears on the MAF Biosecurity NZ operator approval certificate.
IVS offers an approved transitional facility operator training course enabling you to meet the MAF Biosecurity NZ requirements. The course promotes biosecurity awareness, helping participants gain an understanding of the legal requirements associated with being an operator, and forms part of the process to gain or maintain approval of a transitional facility.
The half-day course focuses on:
- The responsibilities of a transitional facility operator and the importance of their role in the biosecurity chain
- The compliance framework with an overview of relevant legislation, regulation and standards
- Practical assistance in preparing or updating biosecurity operating procedures
Course participants will gain new knowledge and skills required to effectively operate a MAF Biosecurity NZ approved transitional facility. Under the TF Gen Standard, some transitional facilities are required to have a trained deputy operator on the premises providing cover when the primary operator is not present.
