ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Inspect site | 1.1 | Site is inspected as required with other relevant personnel, to assess job requirements |
1.2 | All necessary parameters are measured to ensure accuracy of calculations |
1.3 | Hazards are identified through inspection of site and load, and required action is taken to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards |
1.4 | Additional information about load and possible hazards is sought from customer and expert personnel, as required |
1.5 | Special site requirements are identified |
2 | Plan lift | 2.1 | Operation plan is developed in consultation with other relevant personnel, including hazard prevention/control measures in accordance with workplace procedures, applicable Australian Standards and codes of practice |
2.2 | Approval to carry out lift is obtained from appropriate statutory authority, as required |
2.3 | Multiple crane lifts are planned, as required, to encompass determination of types of cranes suitable for use and an assessment of load share to be carried by each crane |
2.4 | Crane load chart is interpreted and information on permissible loads, radii, weights, boom and jib are taken into account in planning job |
2.5 | Safe working load (SWL) or working load limit (WLL) is calculated |
2.6 | Appropriate drawings and simulations are created to check feasibility of planned operations |
2.7 | Information from previous lifts is used in developing operational plan |
2.8 | Range of alternatives is considered to ensure effective and safe lift |
2.9 | Unsolicited, irrelevant information is disregarded to focus on task at hand |
2.10 | Need for additional/specialised equipment is ascertained and arrangements are made for collection/delivery to site |
2.11 | Communications system is determined and all team members are briefed on its use when conducting lift |
3 | Set up lift | 3.1 | Site measurements and SWL/WLL are checked to verify accuracy |
3.2 | Operating and emergency controls are checked to ensure crane is in safe working order |
3.3 | Appropriate personal protective equipment is selected and worn in accordance with manufacturer specifications and site requirements |
3.4 | Site is isolated as required and assistance is sought to ensure public safety as required |
3.5 | Other personnel on site are directed, as required to ensure risks to personnel and equipment are minimised |
3.6 | Variables that affect operation predictability are eliminated wherever possible |
4 | Work effectively in a team | 4.1 | Consultation with all team members is sought in developing operational plan |
4.2 | Ideas are discussed and evaluated with team members to determine viability and to reach consensus on an effective plan |
4.3 | Individual roles and responsibilities are clarified and agreed |
4.4 | Other team members are assisted as required, to ensure operation can be completed safety and efficiently |
5 | Lift and move load | 5.1 | Nominated authorised person is recognised as being in control and instructions are followed |
5.2 | Test runs are conducted as required to ensure a safe lift |
5.3 | Load is hoisted and lowered into position using crane movements in accordance with the appropriate Australian Standard |
5.4 | Danger is anticipated by monitoring crane and load, and instruction to stop operation is given, when there are concerns lift is not proceeding as planned |
5.5 | Potential impact of change in one area of operation on lift as a whole, is recognised |
5.6 | In unanticipated situations, contribution is made to developing alternative operational plan |
6 | Follow up on job | 6.1 | Specialised equipment is checked and re-stored in accordance with workplace procedures |
6.2 | Operation is reviewed in consultation with relevant personnel and contribution is made to recommendations for review of procedures as required |
6.3 | Need for further afterjob debriefing or counselling is recognised and appropriate action is taken |
6.4 | Records are completed promptly in accordance with workplace procedures |
