Qualification -
Unit of Competency TLIB3006A - Carry out inspection of vehicles designed to carry special loads
Description This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to carry out an inspection of a commercial vehicle designed to carry a special load, including action to implement manufacturers specifications for routine checks of the vehicle and its associated equipment, to clean the vehicle and its associated equipment, and to ensure that all specified safety requirements are met and that the vehicle and equipment are operational to the requirements of both the workplace and the relevant state/territory roads and traffic authority. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Work must be carried out in compliance with the regulations of the relevant roads and traffic authority and workplace procedures and policy concerning vehicle inspection.Work is performed with limited or minimum supervision, with limited accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes. It involves the application of routine vehicle checking and maintenance principles and procedures to inspect a commercial vehicle designed to carry special loads across a variety of operational contexts.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Check vehicle
  • A visual check of the internal and external condition of the vehicle is carried out in accordance with workplace procedures
  • Pre-operational inspections and checks of the vehicle's tyres, suspension, fluid levels and other critical features are carried out to ensure conformance with road safety standards
  • Associated equipment is tested to ensure it functions correctly to manufacturers specifications
  • Post start-up and shut-down checks are carried out after engine is started to identify possible engine or electrical problems
  • Warning systems (instruments and gauges) are checked to ensure they are operational
  • Where relevant, vehicle-monitoring device is logged on/off in accordance with manufacturers instructions and workplace policy
       
Element: Clean vehicle and ancillary equipment
  • Vehicle and associated equipment is cleaned in accordance with workplace procedures and legislation
  • Special purpose ancillary equipment is cleaned in accordance with any relevant government regulations and workplace procedures
       
Element: Complete documentation
  • Basic faults are identified and/or diagnosed and appropriate action taken to report or remedy them as required by workplace procedures and legislation
  • Records of inspection are updated and recommended repairs documented in accordance with workplace polices
