Minor changes to the application, elements, performance evidence and knowledge evidence

Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to use an earthmoving and off-the-road (OTR) tyre handler. It includes checking the tyre handler and work site for suitability, operating the tyre handler, and completing work according to operational requirements.

It applies to those who fit earthmoving and OTR tyres, wheels and rim assemblies of not less than 600 mm (24 inches) nominal diameter.

Earthmoving and OTR tyre handlers must be operated in compliance with the licence requirements and regulations of the relevant state or territory authority.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.

Minor changes to the application, elements, performance evidence and knowledge evidence

Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

  • use an earthmoving and off-the-road (OTR) tyre handler on a minimum of three occasions, demonstrating that they can:
  • observe safety procedures and requirements when operating earthmoving and OTR tyre handlers
  • select methods and techniques to operate an earthmoving and OTR tyre handler appropriate to the circumstances
  • perform the above work on wheel assemblies and rim assemblies of not less than 600 mm (24 inches) nominal diameter.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • Australian standards and workplace procedures relevant to operating an earthmoving and OTR tyre handler
  • duty of care requirements relating to operating an earthmoving and OTR tyre handler
  • handling procedures for earthmoving and OTR tyre handlers
  • earthmoving and OTR tyre handler controls, instruments and indicators and their use
  • operating hazards and procedures to be followed in the event of an operational emergency
  • procedures for pre-operational checks
  • factors affecting selection of work site, including site layout and obstacles
  • typical damage and faults related to operating earthmoving and off-the-road tyre handlers, including:
  • specialist equipment and tool damage
  • tyre, wheel and rim assembly damage
  • tyre handler damage or faults
  • work area damage.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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 vehicles that they have worked on, e.g. vehicle 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:

  • Australian standards relevant to the use of an earthmoving and OTR tyre handler
  • earthmoving and OTR tyre and wheel and rim assemblies
  • tools and equipment appropriate to the use of an earthmoving and OTR tyre handler
  • earthmoving and OTR tyre handler
  • operational vehicles with earthmoving and OTR tyres, wheel and rim assemblies
  • workplace instructions relating to the use of earthmoving and OTR tyre handlers
  • workplace location or simulated workplace.
