Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to operate specific types of elevated work platforms (EWPs) safely and effectively in different locations, including on uneven terrain. The unit includes locating, setting up, operating and shutting down scissor lifts and self-propelled boom lifts with a boom length under 11 metres.The unit supports construction workers in the safe and effective operation of electrical, hydraulic and mechanical EWPs. The unit does not cover truck-mounted EWPs, powered telescoping devices, hinged devices or articulated devices, or any combination of these used to support a platform on which personnel, equipment and materials may be elevated to perform work and which has a boom length of 11 metres or more. It applies to construction work on residential and commercial work sites in new construction, renovation or refurbishment, and maintenance projects. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Suitable assessment of performance requires: equipment: EWPs extension leads safety harnesses and lanyards special attachments for the EWP when shifting equipment PPE prescribed under legislation, regulations, codes of practice and workplace policies and practices materials: logbooks service manuals operator manuals contingencies: uneven terrain specifications: AS 2550 Set: Cranes, hoists and winches - Safe use job specifications manufacturer specifications SWMS physical conditions: different weather conditions relationship with team members and supervisor: work is conducted as part of a team timeframe: according to job requirements.
