Unit of Competency TLIB3013 - Maintain mobile cranes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to carry out routine maintenance on a mobile crane, in compliance with licence/permit requirements, regulations and work requirements in a variety of operational contexts.It includes obtaining and confirming job instructions and work specifications, coordinating loading of gear and equipment, assessing job requirements and work areas, designing job plan and setting up work area.Work is performed under general supervision, with some accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes. This unit applies to maintenance activity on equipment used by the operator and is limited to lubrication, fluid, filter and accessory changing and checks for cracks, surface or structural faults or other damage.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions and involve the movement of equipment, goods, materials and vehicular traffic.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals, including relevant:

state/territory regulations pertaining to the maintenance and safety of mobile cranes

state/territory WHS/OHS legislation

personal protective clothing and equipment, including:

gloves

safety headwear and footwear

sunscreen, sunglasses and safety glasses

two-way radios

high visibility clothing

relevant materials, tools and equipment currently used in industry

state/territory environmental protection legislation.
