TLILIC0020 Licence to operate a slewing mobile crane (over 100 Tonnes)

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a Maximum Rated Capacity (MRC) over 100 tonnes in accordance with all relevant legislative responsibilities. Competence in this unit, does not in itself result in a High-Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this plant. Slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom or jib that can be slewed, but does not include: a front-end loader, or a backhoe, or an excavator, or other earth moving equipment, when configured for crane operation. A person performing this work is required to hold a slewing mobile crane with an MRC over 100 tonnes HRWL. This unit requires a person operating a slewing mobile crane with an MRC over 100 tonnes to: plan for the work/task prepare for the work/task perform work/task pack up. Licensing/Regulatory Information Legislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit of competency. This unit is based on the licensing requirements of Part 4.5 of the Model Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations and meets Commonwealth, state and territory HRWL requirements. The National Assessment Instrument (NAI) is the mandated assessment for the HRWL to operate the relevant licensing class as detailed in this unit.
