Overview of assessment | Successful assessment of this unit meets the competency requirement of the National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work. State/territory OH&S regulators have mandated the use of Assessment Instruments and Instructions for Assessment for this unit which have been endorsed by the national body responsible for OH&S matters. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Compliance with OH&S licensing legislation. Communicate and work safely with others in the work area. Assessment of ground conditions to confirm that the site is suitable (e.g. firm, level and safe) to operate the vehicle loading crane. Risk assessment and hazard control strategies, including hierarchy of control as applied to the positioning and safe operation of the vehicle loading crane (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, ground conditions, wind, pedestrians and tipping). Set up, position stabilise and operate a vehicle loading crane including all functions to their maximum extension in the loading and unloading of loads to the safe working rated capacity. Move loads from the vehicle to the ground and/or ground to the vehicle as described in the endorsed assessment tool. Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads. Use of lifting equipment and basic slinging techniques suitable for the loads to be loaded/unloaded as defined in the workplace procedures. Awareness of the boom/jib movements and particularly the safe positioning of the operator for any lift. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment of the safe and effective application of knowledge and skill to workplace tasks (performance) must be undertaken using the endorsed Assessment Instrument. Assessment of performance must be undertaken either in the workplace or in a realistically simulated workplace setting. Assessors must ensure that the assessment in the workplace is organised to ensure that all the required equipment and materials and a suitable working area is made available to suit the assessment and the workplace. Assessment must occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment is to comply with appropriate standard requirements. Applicants must have access to: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the purpose of the Performance Assessment appropriate vehicle loading crane (10 metre tonne or more) and associated equipment in safe condition appropriate lifting gear in safe condition Suitable loads as specified by the endorsed Assessment Instrument communication equipment (e.g. two-way radios, whistles, etc.) other associated personnel to sling and direct the loads. |
Method of assessment | Assessment must be conducted using the endorsed Assessment Instruments. These Instruments provide advice on their application. The use of 'simulators' in the assessment of this unit of competency is not acceptable. Assessment may be in conjunction with the assessment of other units of competency. Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge. Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only able to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances. |
Guidance information for assessment | Further information about endorsed Assessment Instruments may be obtained from state/territory OH&S regulators. |
