Follow mobile crane safety procedures

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to follow and apply mobile crane safety procedures, and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures when carrying out mobile crane operations.

It includes identifying and following mobile crane and workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control, contributing to arrangements for managing WHS/OHS, and completing all relevant safety records.

Mobile crane operations are 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)
