Supervise mobile crane operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to supervise mobile crane operations, in compliance with the licence/permit to perform high risk work requirements and relevant state/territory regulations for mobile crane operations.

It includes implementing the operational plan for a mobile crane lift, directing operations, supporting crane personnel in their work, and negotiating and resolving site problems on request.

Work is performed under general supervision. It involves the application of some judgement and routine principles and procedures when supervising mobile crane operations.

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)
