Written and/or verbal assessment covering WHS responsibilities, crane operation, load handling, and safe work procedures.
Practical (including physical requirements):
Participants will demonstrate:
- Planning and preparing for vehicle loading crane operations
- Conducting pre-start and operational checks
- Safely lifting, moving, and placing loads
- Operating within safe load limits
- Completing shutdown and securing procedures
Note: This course involves climbing onto equipment, standing for extended periods, and performing moderate manual handling.
Students must have access to a compliant vehicle loading crane (under 10 metre tonnes) in safe working condition for the practical
assessment.
Further Course Information
To successfully complete the course, students must provide one of the following:
-
Letter of Support – from an employer or supervisor with experience on the crane confirming the student’s
competency,
OR
- Logbook – showing recent operating hours and tasks.
If the logbook is not completed before the course, the trainer will need to return at a later date to finalise the assessment sign-off.
