Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant regulations and workplace requirements concerning the shifting of loads using ships cranes.
Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment. It involves the application of workplace procedures and regulatory requirements when shifting loads using cranes as part of work activities in the stevedoring, transport, distribution and allied industries.
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to shift loads using ships cranes in accordance with workplace and regulatory requirements. It includes planning the work for the prevailing working conditions; using the controls and operating systems to manage the operation of the crane; locating the load and identifying load characteristics; safely moving the load; monitoring the controls; and stopping, shutting down and securing the crane after the completion of operations.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
