Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting. Where assessment of competency includes third party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the required outcomes of the unit. Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
Demonstration Requirements: The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit.
The candidate must demonstrate completion of vehicle loading crane operations that safely, effectively and efficiently follow workplace procedures to carry out work activity on at least two occasions, and include:
     • Performing start-up, park-up, shutdown and vehicle positioning procedures.
     • Isolating work area in the vicinity of vehicle loading cranes, including displaying signage and erecting barriers.
     • Lifting and positioning loads using crane controls and function.
     • Directing crane operations using load moving signals applicable to site.
     • Monitoring load and crane hook movements and locations.
     • Returning cranes to lock down position.
     • Cleaning, checking and storing plant, tools and equipment.
     • Disposing of environmentally sensitive fluids and materials.
     • Parking and securing equipment.
In the course of the above work the candidate must also:
     • Locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures.
     • Apply safe work practices and identify and report potential hazards and environmental issues, and assess risks.
     • Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activities.
     • Identify common equipment faults.
     • Select and use required tools and equipment.
     • Planning and preparing for vehicle loading crane operations.
     • Monitor and manage equipment performance using indicators and alarms.
     • Use a range of communication techniques and equipment essential to the safe completion of work instruction.
     • Meet written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures associated with vehicle loading crane operations.
Assessor is to schedule an appropriate time and duration for the Trainee to demonstrate the assessment task/s and associated questions.
Oral Questions: Questions must be asked while the demonstration is taking place or if appropriate directly after the task/s have been completed.
Flexibility: Assessor to modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment.

Practical Assessment - Instructions for Candidate
To meet the requirements of this unit of competency, you will be required to successfully complete the Practical Assessment. The assessor may be also asked to provide additional evidence to attach to the Practical component. This checklist should be completed in the following ways: -
(Satisfactory)- Indicates demonstration to an acceptable industry standard with application of required knowledge, problem solving, following safe work practices and meeting the workplace responsibilities and expectations as required.
(Not Yet Satisfactory)- In this case, reasons should be given to justify a decision of being unsuccessful.
Re-assessments should be carried out only on that particular area where the participant were deemed unsuccessful and further evidence is required. The trainer or assessor needs to observe you demonstrating the following essential skills in your workplace or in a simulated environment. In order to achieve competency in this unit, every box should have a tick.
Conditions of Practical Assessment: The assessor / trainer will provide the instructions, if you are unclear about what you have to do, clarify instructions with your assessor /trainer before commencing practical tasks. You must be observed independently, and all activities demonstrated satisfactory. Practical tasks must be undertaken with correct footwear, high vis clothing and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that may be required as appropriate.
The Practical Assessment may be stopped immediately at any time if you act in a way that puts yourself, other learners, the assessor / trainer, property or equipment in any danger. If this happens, rescheduling of the assessment will be at the discretion of your assessor / trainer.
