Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICPSUP235 - Lift loads mechanically

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Attach lifting gear to loads

  1. All work is undertaken safely and to prescribed procedures
  2. Load is inspected and best lifting method determined for weight and shape
  3. Appropriate load shifting equipment is selected
  4. Lifting gear is inspected and damaged or worn items are labelled and rejected
  5. Where appropriate, safe working loads are calculated to Australian Standards
  6. Lifting gear is attached to load in an appropriate and safe manner, and to specifications where required
All work is undertaken safely and to prescribed procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

safely lift loads using basic equipment such as slings, ropes, shackles, eye bolts and spreader beams

mechanically lift TWO loads according to enterprise and statutory requirements and regulations.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

Attach lifting gear and select appropriate equipment to lift loads

outline available references to determine safety practices for lifting loads

describe some important considerations when lifting loads mechanically

explain how to determine the best method to lift the load

list various types of mechanical lifting devices, and circumstances under which they are used

describe the type of damage that can occur to any particular piece of lifting equipment

outline problems that can occur if lifting gear is not attached properly

Correctly apply safe practices to move loads

demonstrate knowledge of safe practices to observe when moving loads

explain conventions to observe when connecting lifting gear to the load mover

list specific communication techniques used for moving the load

identify the safe distance for personnel not involved in moving the load

list other techniques for communication that could be used

describe effects of a load not being grounded correctly

outline where lifting gear should be stored after it has been detached

Information sources

outline the information in machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task
