Direct crane operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to direct crane operations in accordance with workplace and regulatory requirements, as part of work activities in the stevedoring, transport, distribution and allied industries.

It includes checking work area, checking cargo, receiving and interpreting directions, anticipating cargo transfer sequence, directing crane operators and transferring loads in accordance with job requirements.

Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment.

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, 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.
