Control lift and movement of crane

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to control the lift and movement of a crane when the load is out of the crane operator’s view, in accordance with workplace principles, procedures and regulations.

It includes providing lift instructions to the crane operator using appropriate communication methods, monitoring the lift and placing and securing a load.

Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant state/territory authority licence/permit requirements and regulations for operating mobile cranes up to and including 20 tonnes.

Work is performed with limited or minimum supervision, and with limited accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving 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)


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

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

1

Provide lift instructions

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

applying fatigue management knowledge and techniques

applying precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards

applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures

communicating effectively with others

identifying and correctly using relevant equipment

monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule and modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

operating and adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with operating procedures

operating electronic communications equipment to required protocol

planning own work, predicting consequences and identifying improvements

prioritising and multi-tasking work

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information, technical data, manuals and signs

working collaboratively with others

working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

communication systems used during a lift

mobile crane applications, capacities, configurations, safety hazards and control mechanisms

operational work systems and equipment

problems that may occur during a lift and associated action that can be taken to address these problems

relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental procedures and regulations

relevant road rules, regulations, permit and licence requirements for mobile crane operations

risks and hazards involved in mobile crane operations and associated action that can be taken to eliminate or minimise risks

workplace procedures for controlling lifting and moving a mobile crane.

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

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.

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

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
