UNIT TITLE / Licence to perform rigging intermediate level
MODIFICATION HISTORY / Release / Comment
1 / Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCLRG3002A Licence to perform rigging intermediate level. Updated to align with the Standards for Training Packages.
APPLICATION / The unit specifies the outcomes required to perform intermediate rigging work safely.
Rigging work means:
a)the use of mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear to move, place or secure a load using plant, equipment or members of a structure to ensure the stability of those members,
or
b)the setting up or dismantling of cranes or hoists.
This unit applies to the activities of a person performing intermediate rigging work involving any of the following:
a)rigging work included in the class of basicrigging
b)hoists with jibs and self-climbing hoists
c)cranes, conveyors, dredges and excavators
d)tilt slabs
e)demolition of structures or plant
f)dual lifts.
This unit requires a person performing intermediate rigging work to plan the task, inspect equipment, safely set up intermediate rigging task, safely erect intermediate structures and plant, and safely dismantle intermediate structures and plant.
Rigging work is undertaken in a range of industries where load shifting equipment and associated gear is used to move, place or secure a load using plant, equipment or members of a structure to ensure the stability of those members.
A person performing this work must hold anIntermediate Rigging High Risk Work Licence.
This unit is based on the licensing requirements of the Model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations Part 4.5 High Risk Work and meets Commonwealth, state and territory high risk work licensing requirements.
