Performance Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:

assemble and dismantle rigging for at least one production.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:

interpret rigging requirements and plan installation tasks

conduct work safely at heights

maintain stability of rigging and associated equipment during assembly and dismantling

work collaboratively with others during assembly and dismantling

follow safe work practices including wearing fitted and safety equipment when completing work tasks

use applicable mathematical techniques to complete required calculations.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:

hazards associated with assembling and dismantling rigging and associated equipment and risk management procedures for minimising them

types and functions of rigging, safety and associated equipment and their limitations

organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for rigging

the hierarchy of hazard identification and control

how to interpret load data sheets for different rigging elements

applicable mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement of loads

methods of lifting, handling and supporting rigging equipment during assembly and dismantling

contents of safe work method statements

issues and challenges that typically arise in the context of assembling and dismantling rigging and associated equipment, and solutions to address them

difference between determinate and indeterminate structures

use of load monitoring equipment as it applies to arena rigging activities

scientific principles of lifting, handling, stability and moving loads in the context of assembling and dismantling rigging and associated equipment

applicable Commonwealth, state or territory and local government work health and safety (WHS) legislation, standards and codes of practice for undertaking arena rigging activities

inspection and maintenance requirements on different rigging and associated equipment in line with Australian Standards or manufacturer’s specifications

safety issues that impact on rigging systems, including regulations about:

tasks that require a licensed rigger

work that can be undertaken by unlicensed personnel.

Assessment Conditions

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a live production environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.

This includes access to:

an arena which requires rigging

a production that requires rigging

rigging and associated equipment for assembly and dismantling in an arena

interaction with others.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards. Where personal safety is a limiting factor, assessment may occur in a simulated work environment typical of those in a working environment in this industry.
