1.4

Safety in the work area is continually monitored during crane operations and required action is taken to identify hazards and to control risks

2

Monitor personnel working in operational area

2.1

Vigilance is maintained when personnel are working in the cranes operational area in accordance with statutory requirements, national standards and safety codes

2.2

Personnel are checked out of operational area before securing operational area/storage location/ships hold after completing shift and when task is completed, ensuring all personnel are safely out of the area/hold

2.3

Personnel working in the operational area/storage location/ships hold are warned of any danger in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements

2.4

Personnel working in the operational area/storage location/ships hold are alerted when required and emergency responses are initiated to provide assistance to personnel in hold

3

Solve problems and make decisions

3.1

Problems are solved and decisions are made to ensure optimum efficiency of operations in accordance with management and client objectives

3.2

Employees are encouraged to contribute their opinions to facilitate effective decisions and resolution of problems

completing relevant documentation

dealing with internal and external customers in small, medium and large worksites

estimating the size, shape and special requirements of loads

identifying, selecting and using relevant equipment, processes and procedures when monitoring crane operations

identifying cargo, container and goods, coding, Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) and International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) markings and emergency information panels

implementing contingency plans

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule

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

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information, labels and signs

receiving, acknowledging, sending messages and giving signals using required communications equipment and protocols

reporting and/or rectifying identified problems, faults or malfunctions promptly, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures

selecting and using required personal protective equipment conforming to industry and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) standards

working collaboratively with others when monitoring crane operations

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:

Australian and international codes and regulations relevant to crane operations, including the ADG and IMDG Codes

cargo marking and numbering systems

operational work systems, equipment, management and site operating systems for crane operations

problems that may occur during crane operations and appropriate action that can be taken to resolve these problems

relevant bond, quarantine or other legislative requirements

relevant handling and safety codes

relevant WHS/OHS and environmental protection procedures and guidelines

requirements for safe working load (SWL) and working load limit (WLL) of cranes

types of cargo including goods with specialist requirements, temperature controlled goods and dangerous goods

types of cranes used to transfer loads at transport, rail or shipping terminals or wharves, their application and the regulations, procedures and precautions for their operation

workplace procedures and policies for monitoring crane operations.

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 including limited or restricted spaces, exposed conditions, controlled or open environments.

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

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

gloves

safety headwear and footwear

safety glasses

two-way radios

protective clothing

high visibility clothing

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