Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the movement, transportation, installation and removal of equipment and physical elements for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.
Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display a high level of initiative, judgement and responsibility as they supervise the bump in and bump out of production areas, such as lighting, sound, staging, sets, props, scenic art or vision systems.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |

Organise equipment and human resources | 1.1 With reference to production documentation, determine crewing requirements and scope of work required 1.2 Identify the need for additional equipment and materials and check whether their purchase fits within budgetary guidelines 1.3 Obtain additional items promptly as required 1.4 Complete accurate inventory checks to ensure physical elements are available and ready for use 1.5 Assess risks and develop and implement hazard management plans 1.6 Roster staff to meet production schedules in line with production budget |
2. Plan movement of physical elements | 2.1 Liaise with production personnel to determine the most effective sequence to move and install physical elements 2.2 Identify transport requirements and organise transport accordingly 2.3 Estimate the number of people required to move equipment and advise relevant colleagues accordingly 2.4 Develop contingency plans to minimise the impact of unexpected events on the bump in and bump out process 2.5 Document clear plans for moving and installing equipment according to organisational procedures |
3. Manage installation and removal of physical elements | 3.1 Supervise the safe installation and removal of physical elements according to production requirements 3.2 Monitor progress of bump in and bump out of shows against production schedules and implement contingency plans as required to meet production deadlines 3.3 Identify and respond to problems promptly in consultation with relevant personnel 3.4 Organise storage and security of physical elements as required, including valuable items and hazardous materials 3.5 Evaluate the bump in and bump out process with relevant personnel and note areas for improvement in future productions |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
organise and supervise the work of a team to bump in and bump out shows on at least two occasions
work collaboratively.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements the individual must:
describe issues and challenges that typically arise when bumping in and bumping out shows, along with strategies for addressing them
describe issues to be taken into account when moving and transporting equipment from different technical areas
describe inventory systems and procedures used for equipment and materials in an entertainment context
provide examples of where to source additional equipment and supplies for own area of expertise
explain how work health and safety requirements can affect the allocation of work and the movement of physical elements.
Assessment Conditions
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
equipment and physical elements to be moved in and out of production venues
interaction with a team for whom the individual can plan and organise work.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
