Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Stages of the tilt-up construction process cover:

design and manufacture

handling, storage and transportation

cranage and erection

temporary bracing, stabilisation and incorporation of concrete panels

demolition

National code of practice refers to:

National Code of Practice for Precast, Tilt-Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construction.

Skills training opportunities could include completing further training, including:

Hazards include anything with the potential to cause injury, harm or ill health, such as:

environmental factors, e.g. wind, temperature, noise and lighting

overhead or underground services

trees, buildings and structures

uneven or unstable ground

unstable panels during lifting.

Safe work method statement is a statement that:

describes how safety measures will be implemented to do the work safely

describes the control measures that will be applied to the work activities

identifies work activities assessed as having safety risk or risks

includes a description of the equipment used in the work, the qualifications of the personnel doing the work, and the training required to do the work safely

states the safety risk or risks.

Job safety analysis is:

a technique that breaks a task into steps

identifies the hazards and appropriate control measures for each step.
