Range Statement

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Safety requirements mustinclude:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for:

manually handling heavy vehicle traction performance enhancement systems

inflating tyres safely

tagging out and isolating machines

wheel chocking.
