Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions. Simulators must not be used in the assessment of this unit of competency. Resources for assessment that must include access to: appropriate derrick crane and lifting gear and associated equipment in safe/serviceable condition in accordance with manufacturers specifications comprising: a strut-boom crane with its boom pivoted at the base of a mast which is either guyed (guy-derrick) or held by backstays (stiff-leg derrick) and which is capable of luffing under load appropriate loads as outlined in the performance evidence requirements appropriate personnel to sling and direct loads including: dogger or rigger communications equipment including: two-way radios whistles relevant personal protective equipment (PPE) relevant documentation for operating a derrick crane including: approved codes of practice and relevant guidance material relevant Australian technical standards manufacturer guidelines (instructions, requirements or checklists), relevant industry standards and operating procedures (where applicable).
