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.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Attach lifting gear to loads | 1.1 Routine pre-use checks are undertaken according to manufacturer’s specifications and regulatory safety requirements 1.2 Non-compliance with specifications is reported for repair/replacement |
2. Move loads | 2.1 Type of material is determined from labels, colour codes and signage 2.2 Material properties are understood 2.3 Load is inspected and best handling method determined for weight and shape 2.4 All unknowns are clarified with appropriately qualified authority 2.5 All relevant safety and emergency procedures are understood and implemented as required 2.6 All relevant regulations and codes of practices are understood and observed 2.7 Correct and appropriate handling methods are undertaken |
3. Shift loads | 3.1 Most appropriate load shifting device is selected 3.2 Load shifting device is operated within design specifications and safe working load 3.3 Load is lifted, ensuring balance, vision of operation, and protection of load 3.4 Safe and efficient path of movement is selected and used 3.5 Path of movement is checked and monitored for obstacles and hazards, and safely maintained |
4. Place loads | 4.1 Loads are placed ensuring safety, stability, protection of material and avoidance of on-site hazards 4.2 Shifting device is removed or secured according to enterprise procedures |
Evidence of the ability to:
mechanically shift TWO loads using at least an electric trolley, according to enterprise and statutory requirements.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
Maintenance and safety checks for load shifting equipment
explain how often routine checks on equipment should be conducted
identify who to notify to deal with problems relating to load shifting equipment
outline circumstances that necessitate replacement of shifting equipment
Determining correct handling methods
explain the meaning behind different types of material colour codes
outline personal injuries that might result from incorrect handling methods
explain how implementation of safety procedures impacts enterprise operations
identify the statutory authority responsible for regulating safety procedures
Safety requirements for load shifting operations
describe licensing requirements to operate various load shifting devices
list causes that might result in a load moving and becoming off balance during a shift
outline how to choose an appropriate path when shifting the load
describe the position shifting devices should be placed in after completing the load shift
explain how incorrect placement of loads affect job requirements and enterprise procedures
outline the information in machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to load shifting equipment, not including forklifts.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements
