Unit of Competency | CUESTA06B - Apply a general knowledge of theatrical rigging |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply a broad knowledge of theatrical rigging to the live entertainment workplace. It does not cover the installation of rigs. The National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work applies to persons performing dogging and rigging work. Completion of the following units is required for certification at either basic, intermediate or advanced levels.CPCCLDG3001A Licence to perform doggingCPCCLRG3001A Licence to perform rigging basic levelCPCCLRG3002A Licence to perform rigging intermediate levelCPCCLRG4001A Licence to perform rigging advanced level.Sets and staging for some performances or events may fall within the definition of construction work. If so, people entering a construction site are required to complete the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (Australian Safety Compensation Council, May 2007).Achievement of the unit 'CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry' fulfils this requirement. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | A range of technical production personnel involved in live entertainment events and productions apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. Those who work in lighting, staging, sound or vision systems need a general understanding of rigging.This unit may also be useful for licensed riggers who have limited knowledge of the theatrical work context.This unit has linkages to a range of other technical production units and combined assessment and/or training may be appropriate. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: knowledge of rigging in an entertainment context knowledge of regulations in relation to the licensing of riggers and the limitations on the type of work that can be undertaken by unlicensed personnel. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must ensure: application of knowledge to specific technical production situations. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: case studies and problem solving to assess application of knowledge to different technical situations oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of rigging techniques and safety issues review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: Australian standards regarding rigging and scaffolding certification rigging equipment and materials venue where rigging is constructed. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
|
Required skills |
literacy skills sufficient to read instructions for safety equipment numeracy skills sufficient to understand the equipment calculations associated with rigging |
Required knowledge |
the definition of rigging, different levels of rigging and its use in the entertainment industry safety equipment and how this is used, including harnesses and fall arresters hoists (different types) and why and how they are used in an entertainment context the features of spansets and their uses in an entertainment context trusses and correct and safe ways of using them the importance of weights, loads and counterweights, and how these are calculated shackles and other fittings and their uses in theatrical rigging the regulatory limitations on the role of technical production personnel in relation to rigging, and the types of tasks which must be undertaken by a licensed rigger |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Rigging requirements may relate to one or more of the following: | audio lighting set construction staging vision systems |
Licensed riggers may be: | contract labour fellow employees |
Rigging related tasks that may be undertaken by unlicensed personnel may include: | application of fibre and wire rope assembling flying units assembling truss attachment of soft fittings communication as applicable to flying operation tying knots use of shackles, trim chains, turnbuckles, screweyes Rigging related tasks that may be undertaken by unlicensed personnel do not include work that involves hanging hoists, using of lifting equipment or slinging of spansets. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
