Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to checking engine or sail powered recreational vessels in both land and water environments. It relates to workplaces in which vessels are built, repaired, stored, sold and transported.
The scope of the unit is limited to identifying and reporting that a vessel is not of its 'normal' appearance at rest on its mooring or berth, or after being brought out of the water. It includes basic operational checks similar to those routinely performed by machinery or vehicle operators. It does not include an assessment of seaworthiness or durability but it does cover watertight integrity. The information would be reported to a supervisor or manager who would determine any further action.
All work and work practices are undertaken to regulatory and legislative requirements.
Operational checking of sails and sails systems is covered by Unit MEM50007B (Check operational capability of sails and sail operating equipment).
