Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake a site inspection in preparation for a lift requiring a mobile crane in accordance with licence/permit requirements and regulations, in a variety of operational contexts.

It includes arranging a site inspection, clarifying customer requirements, defining job requirements and completing necessary records.

Work is performed with general supervision, with duty of care 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.
