ground depressions correctly using observer guidance of work platform, main chassis and extending structure demonstrating best mobiling practice driving an EWP in forward and reverse, while maintaining visibility driving applicable to conditions and moving platform and load/s safely ensuring warning devices are functioning correctly interpreting directional arrows correctly on platform controls during forward, reverse, left and right lowering boom to its resting position monitoring platform, main chassis and extending structure movement constantly ensuring safe work procedures are followed raising platform and slewing within manufacturer requirements raising platform to a minimum height of 11 metres or 75% of the maximum height capacity (whichever is greater) stability of the EWP and the work platform telescoping in and out and positioning platform to perform work task/s safely whilst at a minimum height of 75% of the maximum capacity conducting and applying risk/hazard assessment strategies including: barricades and controls to prevent the risk of collision with people, moving vehicles and fixed structures disconnected power environmental conditions including: wind lightning water impacted ground rain extreme heat Ultra Violet (UV) exposure ground conditions (surface and slopes) and assessing work area operating surface suitability based on machine and task requirements insulated electric lines overhead hazards including electric lines and service pipes personal protective equipment (PPE) restricted areas and crush points from work platform and external surroundings safety related tags on electrical switches/isolators that have an impact on point of work of EWP operator sufficient lighting suitable area for set-up, positioning and safely operating EWP suitable firm and stable operating surface use of safety observer when visibility is restricted clarifying workplan and checking understanding complying with Commonwealth, State and Territory Work Health and Safety (WHS)/Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)/Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) legislation and regulations inspecting and using relevant safety equipment, including: anchor point/s emergency retrieval system from base controls and platform controls where fitted energy absorber/s lanyard/s safety harness/es identifying, isolating and tagging out defective equipment and reporting to authorised person/s interpreting and confirming relevant documentation, workplace instructions, safety information and emergency procedures for the work task and relevant area interpreting workplace procedures in relation to various work environmental conditions maintaining communication with other workplace personnel using appropriate workplace procedures including procedures to ensure all movements are conveyed clearly and succinctly including: 2-way radio audible and visual warning devices making and interpreting hand signals questioning to confirm understanding signage written instructions entering work platform correctly including: lowering platform safely and stably to appropriate height to access safely unclipping of fall restraint/arrest device maintaining three points of contact whilst accessing platform exiting work platform correctly including: lowering platform safely and stably to appropriate height to egress safely unclipping of fall restraint/arrest device exiting platform maintaining three points of contact recording and maintaining accurate information relating to EWP operations using and interpreting EWP manufacturer requirements and data, including compliance plate and load chart, to enable correct EWP selection for task including: boom/s jib platform weight including: outrigger load or wheel load reporting to relevant person/s on site risk control measures that are not in place or deficient stabilising procedures for an EWP including: checking levels removing obstacles and obstructions deploying and retracting outriggers establishing correct size plates for packing (if required) shutting down a boom type EWP in accordance with manufacturer requirements and workplace procedures

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
Australian and industry standards, codes of practice and guidelines to safely operate an EWP (boom length 11 metres or more) including: nominal reach, measured horizontally from centre point of rotation to outer edge of platform in its most extended position vertical distance from floor of platform to surface supporting elevating work platform with platform at its maximum height appropriate mathematical calculations to estimate loads ensuring EWP is not overloaded appropriate worksite communication procedures including: 2-way radio audible and visual warning devices questioning techniques signage hand signals traffic warning systems written instructions compliance with permit condition requirements including: from electrical supply authority if operating on roads or footpaths EWP characteristics and capabilities, manufacturer requirements and instructions hazards including: all ground and /or operating surface hazards traffic including pedestrians, vehicles, other mobile plant and building structures overhead hazards including electric lines, service pipes, doorways, roof beams, and lights obstacles or obstructions insufficient lighting other relevant hazards impact of the following on the operation of the EWP including: failure/loss of control including brakes and steering failure of equipment including hydraulic system EWP and platform instability due to: deterioration of ground/operating surface condition gradient of operating surface overloading poor load placement irregular loads emergency procedures and safety equipment, including the use of: safety harness/es energy absorbers lanyard/s anchor point/s emergency retrieval systems identification and avoidance of person/s potential crush or entrapment points identification and avoidance of potential contact with overhead electrical conductor’s identification and avoidance of potential contact with structures near work platform/boom or chassis relevant manufacturer requirements and instructions problems, and appropriate response procedures to unplanned and/or unsafe environmental conditions relevant procedures for refuelling/recharging EWP using appropriate PPE procedures for recording, reporting and maintaining workplace records and information risk assessment process including hierarchy of control: elimination substitution isolation engineering controls administrative controls personal protective equipment (PPE) procedures for shutting down a boom type EWP in accordance with manufacturer requirements problems and equipment faults, and implementing appropriate response procedures to unplanned and/or unsafe situations relevant documentation requirements suitability and lifting capability of the EWP to be used lock out and tag out procedures traffic management plan procedures and requirements typical routine problems encountered operating a EWP and adjustments required for correction wind speed factors that affect stability of EWP as per manufacturer requirements work plan which may be verbal, documented/written, or electronically generated work area operating surface suitability including issues with: backfilled ground bitumen (damaged, cracked) concrete (damaged, cracked) hard compacted soil potholes railway tracks rough uneven or difficult terrain including sloping surfaces, uneven surfaces, steel decks and grates soft soils trench covers Work Health and Safety (WHS)/Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)/Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and codes of practice requirements for boom type elevating work platforms
