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 must include access to: portal boom crane in safe/serviceable working order in accordance with manufacturers specifications 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) applicable documentation 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).
