Performance Evidence
Before competency can be determined, individuals must have competently operated load shifting equipment on a minimum of two occasions.
Individuals must demonstrate they can:
- conduct pre- and post-operational checks to load shifting equipment
- comply with workplace procedures and relevant load shifting regulations, standards and codes of practice
- document and report load shifting equipment faults
- demonstrate safe operating techniques for lifting, shifting and placing loads in line with work health and safety (WHS) and workplace requirements
- select and use load shifting equipment appropriate to weight and volume of load
- complete load shifting equipment records.
Knowledge Evidence
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- WHS requirements when operating load shifting equipment, including overhead and ground level workplace hazards
- types, application and operation of load shifting equipment, including:
- overhead travelling crane
- pallet truck
- trolley jack
- inspection procedures for load shifting equipment
- methods of determining load specifications, including weight, size and type
- methods of determining appropriate load shifting equipment for the circumstance
- load shifting equipment maintenance reports and schedules
- load shifting equipment storage procedures.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements and hold relevant load shifting equipment licences.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the operation of load-shifting equipment, e.g. load shifting equipment log books.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
- automotive manufacturing workplace or simulated workplace
- load shifting devices and equipment
- workplace documentation relating to load shifting, including load shifting equipment inspection documentation
- load shifting equipment operating instructions and procedures
- relevant to an automotive manufacturing environment.
