Elements and Performance Criteria
- Estimate loads for transport or storage
- Order forms/work orders are read and requirements are noted
- Shape, balance characteristics, dimensions and mass of load/s are identified
- Area/volume required for storage is estimated
- Weights and volumes are totalled to calculate load requirements of transport or storage system
- Estimate load limits of transport and/or storage
- Allowable load limits for storage and/or transport systems are identified in accordance with workplace procedures
- Capacity of transport and storage systems in terms of mass, area and volume is calculated
- Organise load
- Load/s is restricted to allowable range
- Load/s is spread to ensure safe weighting on pallets, trucks, platforms or other storage or transport systems
- Appropriate workplace documentation is completed
