Use rigging practices and systems on telecommunications network structures

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform rigging work during system installations for telecommunications radio structures.

It applies to individuals who are usually highly skilled verbal and non-verbal communicators working in a team environment. They must be appropriately licensed to complete high risk work and be able to safely use all required equipment.

Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the ICT Implementation Guide Companion Volume or the relevant regulator for details of licensing, legislative or certification requirements.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


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.

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare rigging systems

1.1 Prepare for work according to relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards

1.2 Arrange access to site and confirm client requirements

1.3 Inform appropriate personnel of existing and potential site hazards

1.4 Select tools and safety equipment required for safe rigging practice

1.5 Use rigging systems in telecommunications environment according to specifications

1.6 Identify proposed position of equipment to be mounted on telecommunications radio structures according to specifications and industry practice

1.7 Estimate safe working loads for rigging systems and equipment according to specifications

1.8 Select and inspect rigging equipment to ensure it is fit for purpose according to specifications

2. Set up and carry out rigging work on telecommunications radio structures

2.1 Set up rigging and dogging equipment following safe working practices and procedures according to all relevant work health and safety (WHS) legislation

2.2 Operate rigging equipment and install telecommunications antenna and associated equipment according to specifications

2.3 Use internationally recognised communication signals and protocols with crane drivers and helicopter crews according to the Crane Association Crane Safety Manual for Operators/Users

3. De-rig and complete documentation

3.1 De-rig and lower rigging equipment according to specifications

3.2 Restore site to client expectations following completion of installation according to industry practice

3.3 Complete documentation and notify client for sign off

Evidence of the ability to:

apply work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices associated with rigging

carry out basic dogging skills

carry out basic rigging skills

use specialised hand or power tools and equipment normally used in rigging.

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:

outline the features and operating requirements of rigging equipment

explain hypothermia symptoms and methods of prevention and treatment

discuss licensing and regulatory issues applying to rigging practices and systems on telecommunications radio structures

summarise knowledge of meteorology and weather prediction

describe remote-area first aid

explain:

electromagnetic radiation (EMR) safety practices

optical fibre-cabling and equipment safety practices

personal protective equipment for rigging projects

requirements of WHS legislation, relevant regulations, and applicable site and company WHS procedures

rigging practices and systems to telecommunications radio structures

working-at-heights safety practices.

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 telecommunications ‒ telecommunications rigging installation field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
