Qualification -
Unit of Competency TLIB3012A - Plan job and set up work areas
Description This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan a lifting job and set up work areas prior to the positioning and setting up of a mobile crane, including obtaining and confirming job instructions and work specifications, coordinating the loading of gear and equipment, assessing job requirements work areas, designing the job plan and setting up the work area. 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 licence/permit requirements and regulations of the relevant state/territory authorities pertaining to mobile crane operations.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 principles and procedures to the planning of a mobile crane job and setting up of work areas prior to lift in 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: Obtain and confirm job instructions/work specifications
  • Job instructions are obtained and checked to ensure specifications include all necessary information
  • Lift plan and other work specifications are interpreted and clarification sought if necessary
       
Element: Coordinate loading of gear and equipment
  • Specific gear necessary for job is identified and obtained
  • Equipment is properly packed and secured according to company procedures to ensure injury and damage are avoided during transportation
       
Element: Assess job requirements and work area
  • Adequate site access and egress is identified
  • Potential hazards are identified and appropriate elimination or control measures selected
  • Weight and dimensions of load are estimated or confirmed in consultation with customer and relevant personnel to ensure job is within limits of crane capacity
  • Site information is interpreted and requirements confirmed with site supervisor
  • Area is assessed to ensure there is sufficient space to establish crane and conduct lift
  • Need to move mobile crane is assessed and, where applicable, route to be travelled is planned to ensure crane traverses firm surfaces and slopes are avoided where possible
  • Any concerns about the safety or feasibility of the lift are discussed with the customer and if not resolved, reported to supervisor
  • Payment arrangements are confirmed with customer where required
  • Customer requirements are anticipated and suggestions made which will maximise safety and efficiency and minimise inconvenience
       
Element: Design job plan
  • The job plan is developed to include hazard prevention/control measures and safety procedures in line with applicable Australian Standards, codes of practice and equipment manufacturers specifications
  • Cranes load chart is consulted and information on permissible loads, radii, weights, boom and jib configurations taken into account in planning the job
  • The job plan takes into account job requirements and customer priorities, and workplace rules and procedures
  • Job plan is discussed and confirmed with relevant personnel
  • Job plan details are documented as required
       
Element: Set up work area
  • Site personnel and public are advised of any danger and site/work area is isolated as necessary in line with legislative, regulatory and customer requirements
  • Site safety procedures are followed
  • Required protective equipment is identified and fitted in accordance with manufacturers guidelines and customer requirements
  • Ancillary equipment is assembled and erected where appropriate
  • Load destination and travel route where applicable are prepared to accept load
