Qualification -
Unit of Competency TLID4032 - Plan and conduct specialised lift
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan and conduct specialised lift by a mobile crane (excluding demolition work). It involves a lift that may be specialised in terms of job and equipment requirements, load qualities, or critical aspects of lift location/s. It includes inspecting site, planning lift, setting up lift, working effectively in a team, lifting and moving load, and following up on a job.Work must be carried out in accordance with high risk work licence/permit requirements and relevant state/territory authority regulations for specialised mobile crane operations.Work is performed under general supervision. It involves the application of some judgement and routine principles and procedures for planning and conducting of specialised lifts in a variety of operational contexts.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.

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

mobile crane, of the type currently used in industry

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
