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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, , the range statement and the assessment guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Successful assessment of this unit meets the competency requirement of the National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work.

State/territory OH&S regulators have mandated the use of Assessment Instruments and Instructions for Assessment for this unit which have been endorsed by the national body responsible for OH&S matters.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Compliance with OH&S licensing legislation.

Communicate and work safely with others in the work area.

Assessment of ground conditions to confirm that the site is suitable (e.g. firm, level and safe) to operate the vehicle loading crane.

Risk assessment and hazard control strategies, including hierarchy of control as applied to the positioning and safe operation of the vehicle loading crane (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, ground conditions, wind, pedestrians and tipping).

Set up, position stabilise and operate a vehicle loading crane including all functions to their maximum extension in the loading and unloading of loads to the safe working rated capacity.

Move loads from the vehicle to the ground and/or ground to the vehicle as described in the endorsed assessment tool.

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads.

Use of lifting equipment and basic slinging techniques suitable for the loads to be loaded/unloaded as defined in the workplace procedures.

Awareness of the boom/jib movements and particularly the safe positioning of the operator for any lift.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of the safe and effective application of knowledge and skill to workplace tasks (performance) must be undertaken using the endorsed Assessment Instrument.

Assessment of performance must be undertaken either in the workplace or in a realistically simulated workplace setting.

Assessors must ensure that the assessment in the workplace is organised to ensure that all the required equipment and materials and a suitable working area is made available to suit the assessment and the workplace.

Assessment must occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with appropriate standard requirements.

Applicants must have access to:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the purpose of the Performance Assessment

appropriate vehicle loading crane (10 metre tonne or more) and associated equipment in safe condition

appropriate lifting gear in safe condition

Suitable loads as specified by the endorsed Assessment Instrument

communication equipment (e.g. two-way radios, whistles, etc.)

other associated personnel to sling and direct the loads.

Method of assessment

Assessment must be conducted using the endorsed Assessment Instruments. These Instruments provide advice on their application.

The use of 'simulators' in the assessment of this unit of competency is not acceptable.

Assessment may be in conjunction with the assessment of other units of competency.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only able to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Guidance information for assessment

Further information about endorsed Assessment Instruments may be obtained from state/territory OH&S regulators.

Use of lifting equipment and basic slinging techniques suitable for the loads to be loaded/unloaded as defined by workplace procedures

Apply risk assessment and hazard control strategies, including hierarchy of control as applied to the positioning and safe operation of the vehicle loading crane (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, ground conditions and vehicle tipping)

Use and interpret crane manufacturer's specifications and data, including load charts to enable the vehicle loading crane to be configured for the load

Verify problems and equipment faults and demonstrate appropriate response procedures

Required knowledge:

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads

Assessment of ground conditions to confirm that the site is suitable (e.g. firm, level and safe) to operate the crane

Awareness of the boom/jib movements and particularly the safe positioning of the operator for any lift

Commonwealth, state or territory OH&S legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for the crane class

Use of lifting equipment and basic slinging techniques suitable for the loads to be loaded/unloaded as defined by workplace procedures

Understanding of the hierarchy of hazard identification and control

Level of literacy to be able to read and comprehend manufacturer's instructions, procedures and safety signs

Organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for conducting operations for the crane class

Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information

Typical routine problems encountered in the process and with equipment and adjustments required for correction

Crane characteristics and capabilities to allow the configuration of the crane to suit the range of loads
