TLIE3015
Undertake rigger/dogger and driver communication

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to enable effective communication between riggers or doggers and drivers, and to lift and move loads using slewing and non-slewing mobile cranes up to and including 20 tonnes, in a variety of operational contexts.

It includes establishing an agreed communications system, trialling and configuring communications and communicating effectively during a lift.

Work must be carried out in compliance with the licence/permit requirements and regulations of the relevant state/territory authorities pertaining to operations of mobile cranes up to and including 20 tonnes.

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

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1

1.1

Forms of signals/communication conforming to Australian Standards and codes of practice are identified

1.2

Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented

1.3

Communication methods to be used in crane operations are agreed with relevant personnel

2

Communicate effectively during a lift

3.1

Communication methods and communications systems are used during a lift in accordance with regulatory requirements, manufacturer instructions and workplace procedures

3.2

Problems identified during communication are reported and immediate action is initiated in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements

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

applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures

communicating effectively with others during a lift

identifying and correctly using equipment, processes and procedures

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule

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

operating electronic communications equipment to required protocol

planning own work including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

prioritising and multi-tasking work

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, regulations, information and signals

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

working collaboratively with others during a lift

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:

communications systems used during a lift

methods used to signal movement of the load during a lift

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

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

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 the risk

workplace procedures and statutory regulations concerning communication between a rigger or dogger and a mobile crane driver before and during a lift.

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

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

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