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 it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Simulators must not be used in the assessment of this unit of competency. Resources for assessment must include access to: vehicle loading crane with a RC of 10 metre tonnes or more in safe/serviceable working order in accordance with manufacturer specifications appropriate loads as outlined in the Performance Evidence requirements communication equipment, including: two-way radios whistles relevant personal protective equipment (PPE) relevant documentation for operating a vehicle loading crane with an RC of 10 metre tonnes or more, 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).
