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.

Risk assessment and management procedures (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, access to cabin, other vehicles and clear access whilst travelling).

Conduct of pre- and post-operational checks of the bridge and gantry crane.

Operation of a bridge and gantry crane including all functions to their maximum capacity in the lifting and moving of loads to the maximum rated capacity in conjunction with other associated personnel.

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads.

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 relevant appropriate standard requirements.

Applicants must have access to:

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

appropriate bridge and gantry crane and associated equipment 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 Instrument. 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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Required skills:

Accurately record and maintain information relating to bridge and gantry crane operations

Use communication techniques in the workplace including hand signals, whistles and use of two-way radios

Use interpersonal communication skills at a level sufficient to communicate with other site personnel

Operate a bridge and gantry crane including all functions to their maximum for the lifting and moving of loads to the maximum rated capacity in conjunction with other associated personnel

Apply risk assessment and hazard control strategies, including hierarchy of control as applied to the safe operation of the crane (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, access to cabin, vehicles and clear access whilst travelling)

Use and interpret crane manufacturer's specifications and data, including maximum load to ensure the crane is not overloaded

Verify problems and equipment faults and demonstrate appropriate response procedures

Required knowledge:

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads

Bridge and gantry crane characteristics

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

Emergency procedures including escape routes

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

Understanding of the hierarchy of hazard identification and control

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 operation of the crane and equipment and adjustments required for correction

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

other specific hazards (e.g. dangerous materials)

Hazard control measures

Refers to the systematic process of eliminating or reducing the risk to personnel and property through the application of controls

It includes the application of the hierarchy of control, the six-step preference of control measures to manage and control risk:

1 elimination

2 substitution

3 isolation

4 engineering control measures

5 using safe work practices

6 personal protective equipment
