Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit.
The candidate must demonstrate completion of conducting slewing crane operations that safely, effectively and efficiently follow workplace procedures to carry out work activity on at least two occasions. This includes:
- completing start-up checks prior to commencing operations, and shutdown procedures on completion of operations
- positioning, stabilising and levelling crane
- inspecting boom or jib prior to lift activity
- lifting and positioning loads
- travelling a slewing crane
- completing a multiple crane lift
- disposing of environmentally sensitive fluids and materials
- calculating load weights to ensure it is within equipment operating capacities
- parking and securing equipment.
In the course of the above work, the candidate must also:
- locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures
- select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities
- monitor and manage equipment performance using indicators and alarms
- confirm boom or jib is attached in line with workplace procedures and work requirements
- identify common equipment faults
- inspect and prepare work area
- select and use required tools and equipment
- obtain approvals from authorised persons in line with workplace procedures, to perform multiple crane lift
- use a range of communication techniques and equipment essential to the safe completion of work instructions, including hand, audible and other signals
- meet written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures associated with slewing crane operations.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the following knowledge to effectively complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes:
Key policies, procedures, standards, legislation and regulation for slewing crane operations, including those relating to:
- National Standard for high risk work, including AS2550
- diagnostic techniques
- fault identification and operational maintenance
- work health and safety
- role and responsibilities of the dogman
Key site information, including:
- basic geological and survey data
Key features associated with equipment performance, including:
- technical capabilities and limitations
- equipment specifications
Assessment Conditions
Mandatory conditions for assessment of this unit are stipulated below. The assessment must:
- slewing crane
- loads to be shifted
- personal protective equipment
- be conducted in a safe environment and
- be assessed in context of this sector's work environment and
- be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed and
- confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances.
Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated work environment* provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of this sector’s workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must be able to clearly demonstrate current and relevant industry knowledge and experience to satisfy the mandatory regulatory standards as set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF mandatory requirements for assessors current at the time of assessment and any relevant licensing and certification requirements. This includes:
- vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed
- current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided
- current knowledge and skills in vocational training and learning that informs their training and assessment
- formal relevant qualifications in training and assessment
- having knowledge of and/or experience using the latest techniques and processes
- possessing a high level of RII training product knowledge
- having an understanding and knowledge of legislation and regulation relevant to the industry and to employment and workplaces
- demonstrating the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and
- the minimum years of current** work experience after competency has been obtained as specified below in an industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit.
It is also acceptable for the appropriately qualified assessor to work with an industry expert to conduct assessment together and for the industry expert to be involved in the assessment judgement. The industry expert must hold the relevant vocational competencies and have current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided, and must work alongside a trainer and/or assessor to conduct the assessment. This means the industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit) and must also demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience after competency has been obtained as specified below, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed.

*Guidance on simulated environments has been stipulated in the RII implementation guide located on VETNet.
**Assessors can demonstrate current work experience through employment within industry in a role relevant to the outcomes of the unit; or, for external assessors this can be demonstrated through exposure to industry by conducting a minimum number of site assessments as determined by the relevant industry sector, across various locations.
*** While a Unit of Competency does not have an AQF level, where a unit is being delivered outside of a qualification the first numeric character in the unit code should be considered as the AQF indicator level for assessment purposes.
