Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform rigging work during system installations for telecommunications radio structures.

It applies to individuals who are usually highly skilled verbal and non-verbal communicators working in a team environment. They must be appropriately licensed to complete high risk work and be able to safely use all required equipment.

Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the ICT Implementation Guide Companion Volume or the relevant regulator for details of licensing, legislative or certification requirements.

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

Skill	Performance Criteria	Description
Reading	1.1, 1.5-1.8, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1	Interprets textual information from relevant sources to identify equipment suitability and adhere to procedures and standards
Writing	3.3	Legibly completes relevant reports and documentation using clear and technically specific language
Oral Communication	1.2, 1.3, 2.3, 3.3	Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm understanding for requirements, participates in a verbal exchange of ideas and solutions, and uses appropriate, detailed and clear language to address key personnel and disseminate information
Numeracy	1.7, 3.1	Uses mathematical formulae to estimate weights to make equipment adjustments
Navigate the world of work	1.1, 1.3, 1.5-1.8, 2.1-2.3, 3.1, 3.2	Takes personal responsibility for adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, standards and specifications, and industry practices relevant to a rigging context, and draws attention to any issues that may affect self or others Recognises and follows explicit and implicit protocols and meets expectations associated with own role in relation to communication signals
Interact with others	2.3, 1.3	Cooperates with others as part of familiar routine activities, and contributes to specific activities requiring joint responsibility and accountability when reporting site hazards and communicating with crane drivers and helicopter pilots
Get the work done	1.1-1.8, 2.1-2.3, 3.1-3.3	Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes and an increasingly intuitive understanding of the rigging context to identify relevant information and risks, and to identify and evaluate alternative strategies and resources Uses systematic, analytical processes in rigging situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information, and identifying and evaluating options for selection of tools and safety equipment, and selection, positioning and safe loading of rigging equipment Recognises and addresses some unfamiliar problems of increasing complexity within own scope, recognising when to seek the expertise of others in relation to selection and safe use of tools and equipment, identification of site hazards and site restoration
