In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise. |
This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. |
PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
The qualifying learner is capable of:
Setting up cranes and lifting loads in tandem in accordance with safety legislation requirements and standard industry procedures. Knowledge of the different types and characteristics of lifting equipment, Specification charts, Standard formulas and specifications for calculation of mass of final loads in each hook, Procedures for obtaining certificates for lifting machines. The contribution to The National Skills Development Strategy is the key developmental interface between learners and new competencies to be achieved. Learners who master the applied competence described in this unit standard will contribute to the development of a professional community of Structural Steel Erectors who are able to competently use science and technology when performing lifts in tandem. In addition, the learner's ability to interpret and carry out instructions in a competent manner will lead to enhanced quality of workmanship and reduce the costs associated with work having to be redone and the resultant over-run on deadlines. An enhanced understanding of safety legislation and safety common sense will lead to a notable reduction in the high and often catastrophic risks associated with lifts in tandem. |
