CPCCCM3001 - Operate elevated work platforms up to 11 metres

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate they can set up and operate a self-propelled boom lift (BL) and a scissor lift (SL), both elevated work platforms (EWPs), at two different locations on the site, including moving the plant around the work site safely:

The following functions and controls must be performed while operating both BL and SL:

• boom up/down;
• operate attachments, and;
• operate outriggers, where fitted.

The following functions and controls must be performed while operating the BL:

• slew left/right, and;
• telescope in/out.

At least one EWP must be set up and operated on uneven terrain, using outriggers as required. In doing so, when working above six metres, the person must fit harnesses and attach lanyards.

In doing the above, the person must also:

• establish and apply a rescue plan;
• apply safe operating procedures, including conducting operational risk assessment and treatments;
• locate, interpret and apply information relating to job requirements;
• comply with site safety plan and health and safety legislation, regulations and codes of practice applicable to workplace operations;
• safely and effectively use tools, plant and equipment relevant to EWP work;
• ensure safe working load of EWP is not exceeded;
• communicate with others on the work site using verbal and non-verbal communication and communication technology, and;
• work effectively and safely with others on the work site.
