Course Content
Over the duration of the course, candidates will learn the following in a combination of theory and 'hands-on' sessions:
- Accurately record and maintain information relating to crane operations
- Use communication techniques in the workplace including hand signals, whistles and two-way radios
- Use interpersonal communication skills at a level sufficient to communicate with other site personnel
- Operate crane including all functions to their maximum extension in the loading and unloading of loads to the safe working rated capacity of the crane, in conjunction with other associated personnel
- Use of lifting equipment and basic slinging techniques suitable for the loads to be loaded/unloaded as defined by workplace procedures
- Apply risk assessment and hazard control strategies, including hierarchy of control as applied to the positioning and safe operation of the vehicle loading crane (particular awareness of the risks associated with overhead powerlines/electrical cables, ground conditions and vehicle tipping)
- Use and interpret crane manufacturer's specifications and data, including load charts to enable the vehicle loading crane to be configured for the load
- Verify problems and equipment faults and demonstrate appropriate response procedures
By the end of the course this knowledge will be required and demonstrable for the student to be deemed competent:
- Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation of loads
- Assessment of ground conditions to confirm that the site is suitable (e.g. firm, level and safe) to operate the crane
- Awareness of the boom/jib movements and particularly the safe positioning of the operator for any lift
- Commonwealth, state or territory OH&S legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for the crane class
- Use of lifting equipment and basic slinging techniques suitable for the loads to be loaded/unloaded as defined by workplace procedures
- Understanding of the hierarchy of hazard identification and control
- Level of literacy to be able to read and comprehend manufacturer's instructions, procedures and safety signs
- Organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for conducting operations for the crane class
- Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
- Typical routine problems encountered in the process and with equipment and adjustments required for correction
- Crane characteristics and capabilities to allow the configuration of the crane to suit the range of loads
Course Completion
Upon completion of this course, students will recieve a Statement of Attainment for TLILIC0012A Licence to operate a vehicle loading crane (capacity 10 metre tonnes and above) and the vehicle loading crane license.
