Plan job and set up work areas

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan a lifting job and to set up work areas prior to positioning and setting up a mobile crane in compliance with the licence/permit requirements and regulations in a variety of operational contexts.

It includes obtaining and confirming job instructions and work specifications; coordinating the loading of gear and equipment; assessing job requirements of work areas; designing job plans and setting up work area.

Work is performed with limited or minimum supervision, with limited accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions and involve the movement of equipment, goods, materials and vehicular traffic.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals, including relevant:

state/territory regulations and licence/permit requirements for mobile cranes

state/territory road rules

state/territory WHS/OHS legislation

state/territory environmental protection legislation
