Unit of Competency MEM11003 - Coordinate erection/dismantling of complex scaffolding/equipment
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to coordinate the erection, alteration, repair and dismantling of scaffolding/equipment in workshops, factories, manufacturing plants and warehouses, and applies to individuals coordinating a scaffolding team or employed in a supervisory capacity.Complex scaffolding means intermediate scaffolding and above as set out the legislative requirements in each state and territory. The major difference between the complex and basic scaffolding is the height of the working platform and certain types of scaffolding and configurations.Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.Depending on the equipment being used a high risk work licence may be required and users should check with the relevant authorities.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Scaffolding/equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

modular or prefabricated scaffolds

cantilevered materials hoists with a maximum working load of 500 kg

ropes and gin wheels

safety nets and static lines, and

bracket scaffolds (tank and formwork)

cantilevered crane loading platforms

cantilevered and spurred scaffolds

barrow ramps and sloping platforms

perimeter safety screens and shutters

mast climbers

tube and coupler scaffolds(including tube and coupler covered ways and gantries)

cantilevered hoists

hung scaffolds, including scaffolds hanging from tubes, wire ropes or chains

suspended scaffolds

Hazards include one (1) or more of the following:

chemicals

dangerous or hazardous substances/materials

movement of equipment, goods and materials

vehicular traffic

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.
