ELEMENT S | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Assess risks associated with relocating load | 1.1 | Products, goods or materials to be relocated are identified and assessed to determine appropriate relocation method |
1.2 | Storage locations are determined and potential routes to be followed are identified |
1.3 | Effect of load relocation on original load base is predicted |
1.4 | Points of balance are estimated |
1.5 | Required clearances are compared to available space and adjustments are made to moving loads to reflect required clearance |
1.6 | Effects of moving contents, which may be loose, liquid, dangerous or hazardous, are considered |
1.7 | Risks in potential routes are considered |
1.8 | Risks to self are identified arising from the required lifting, load carrying, set down or movement of the goods |
1.9 | Manual handling procedures for lifting, lowering and carrying, pushing and pulling are identified |
1.10 | Team lifting processes are considered when moving loads |
1.11 | Appropriate personal protective equipment is determined |
1.12 | Size to weight ratio of items to be manually handled are identified |
2 | Plan load relocation | 2.1 | Relocation of the load is planned, consistent with the code of practice for manual handling and in accordance with the risk assessment |
2.2 | Process for relocating load is proposed including predicting and planning for potential difficulties |
2.3 | Proposed process is checked for compliance with code of practice and workplace procedures |
3 | Relocate load | 3.1 | Actions for lifting, lowering and carrying, pulling and pushing a load are in accordance with workplace procedures and WHS/OHS requirements |
3.2 | Applications appropriate for team relocation of load are identified |
3.3 | Team lifting tasks are coordinated |
3.4 | Planned process and route are followed |
3.5 | Relocated materials are set down without damage to goods, personnel or equipment and are checked for stability |
3.6 | Relocation is checked to see it meets work requirements and variance/s are reported |
