This unit covers the safe operation of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity up to 60 tonnes, and meets the requirements outlined in the National Assessment Instrument for high-risk work licencing in Western Australia. Training is delivered face-to-face by experienced trainers and includes both theoretical learning and hands-on practical assessment using compliant crane equipment.
Key topics include:
Crane setup and pre-operational checks:
Learn how to conduct thorough pre-start inspections, identify faults, and prepare the crane for operation in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and site requirements.
Lift planning and hazard assessment:
Understand how to assess environmental and site conditions, manage risks, and implement exclusion zones and traffic controls based on lift requirements.
Load chart use and capacity calculations:
Gain the skills to read rated capacity tables and calculate safe lifting limits using boom length, radius, and load weight.
Crane operation techniques:
Practise lifting, moving, and placing loads using a slewing mobile crane up to 60 tonnes in varied conditions, including confined or complex sites.
Communication and coordination:
Use radios, hand signals, and standard protocols to communicate effectively with doggers, riggers, and ground crews during lifting operations.
Shutdown and securing procedures:
Apply safe shutdown practices, isolate the crane post-operation, and complete post-use inspections in line with workplace procedures.
Emergency procedures and operational safety:
Learn how to respond to equipment faults, environmental changes, and unplanned situations while maintaining compliance and control.
Assessments are conducted by a WorkSafe WA licensed assessor in accordance with high-risk licencing requirements. To be eligible for a C6 High Risk Work Licence, participants must successfully complete both a written theory and calculations assessment and a practical crane operation assessment.
