Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to work at height in the stevedoring industry under the relevant regulatory requirements; it includes using site safe work instructions and procedures for working at height. Working at height in a stevedoring environment involves the application of workplace safe work instructions, procedures and regulatory requirements as part of work activities. It also includes an understanding of the risk management procedures for working at height.Working at height tasks are performed by a minimum two-person team under some supervision.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.

This should be undertaken in a range of work environments, in all weather conditions working in ships’ holds, on top of containers, in limited or restricted spaces while in a workbox or workcage.

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

personal protective equipment, including:

gloves

safety headwear and footwear

safety glasses

protective clothing

high visibility clothing

full arrest safety harness

relevant materials, tools and equipment currently used in the industry.
