---|---|---|---|
Description | 1)Scope:1.1) DescriptorThis Competency Standard Unit covers cutting and/or pruning vegetation above ground level (using climbing techniques) and removal of vegetation obstructions, up to the climber exclusion zone as defined for both Authorised and Instructed Persons in the industry guidelines associated with live electrical apparatus, using the established cutting plan relevant to the vegetation type. It encompasses the safe use of appropriate/specialised tools and equipment according to requirements and established procedures. It includes the utilisation of climbing techniques in conjunction with aerial emergency rescue procedures and, inspection and preparation of climbing equipment with recommendations for corrective action being referred to appropriate authorities. It includes safely accessing trees from above ground level to install restraints/slings, removing tree limbs in a safe manner and, clearing debris from the felling site to eliminate the occurrence of electrical incidents. It DOES NOT include entry of persons, mobile plant, equipment, and/or specialised tools into to the safe approach distance (SAD) as defined.Also included is the preparation of risk assessment control measures that encompass job safety assessment. All work and zones are in compliance with relevant State or Territory regulatory agencies/bodies, local government legislation, industry bi-partite body – Guidelines/Codes of Practices or other related requirements for safe work and access near live electrical and mechanical apparatus. | ||
