Assessment Requirements for CPCCLRG3001 Licence to perform rigging basic level

Modification History

Release 1	This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCLRG3001A Licence to perform rigging basic level. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria by safely performing rigging tasks at a basic level, including:

erecting and dismantling a portal frame of structural steel consisting of columns (150 UC 29.8 kg/m), beams (minimum 200 UB 29.8 kg/m) and braces in accordance with engineering detail. It must include:

appropriate structural bolts, nuts, washers, purlins and girts

beams installed at a height of at least 4 m

suitable access and working platform (e.g. elevated work platform, mobile scaffold, scissor lift, portable industrial grade ladder)

It must be packed and plumbed and include temporary bracing during erection and dismantling. Hand tools and working at height safety equipment, including harness, lanyard and inertia reel, must be used

installing and removing a series of three retaining wall panels, each panel being not less than 4 m high by 2 m wide and not less than 1.5 tonnes. One panel must be set at a 90-degree angle to one of the other panels - candidates must identify any defective lifting equipment

installing and removing a safety (catch) net with minimum dimensions of 3 m x 4 m in accordance with manufacturer specification and engineering detail on portal frame - candidates must identify any defective nets

installing, using and removing a static line at least 2.1 m above the beams on portal frame, in accordance with manufacturer specifications and engineering detail – candidates must identify any defective static lines and associated equipment

installing and removing a cantilevered materials hoist (1 or 2 barrow) or a mast climbing work platform of at least three mast sections and tied in accordance with specifications

installing and dismantling a perimeter safety screen or shutter of at least 4 m x 2 m in accordance with manufacturer specifications and engineering detail

installing and dismantling a cantilevered crane loading platform at a height of at least 4 m with secure gates and handrails in accordance with manufacturer specifications and engineering detail

setting up and operating a powered winch to move a load of at least 1 tonne

using the following splice and hitch techniques:

eye splice

becket hitch.

The candidate must:

check relevant workplace information, including safe work method statements (SWMSs) and equipment service and maintenance records and checklists

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors outlined in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Only assessors who are accredited in the licence class by the appropriate WHS regulator for the jurisdiction where the licence is obtained are permitted to conduct the final high-risk work licence assessment. The final licence assessment will only be undertaken with candidates who have completed training and been formally assessed against all elements in this unit.

Assessment must be conducted in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment using realistic workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities, procedures, safety requirements and environmental considerations, including:

the use of full-scale, industry-standard equipment, not simulators

performance of tasks within the timelines expected in a workplace

participation of the candidate in activities within a team of three to five members.

Candidates must have access to:

all personnel and equipment required to perform the tasks specified in the Performance Evidence

workplace information and records, including:

equipment and maintenance checklists

record system for service and maintenance history

incident reports

workplace procedures, including SWMSs and emergency plans
