- meet written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures associated with integrated tool carrier operations
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes:
Key policies and procedures and established requirements for integrated tool carrier operations, including those relating to:
- fires, accidents and emergencies
- maintenance and basic diagnostics
- securing and stabilising load and equipment
- guiding movement of equipment using approved signals
- housekeeping activities
- personal protective equipment

Assessment Conditions
Mandatory conditions for assessment of this unit are stipulated below. The assessment must:
- include access to:
- integrated tool carrier
- personal protective equipment
- be conducted in a safe environment and
- be assessed in context of this sector’s work environment and
- be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed and
- confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances
Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated work environment* provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of this sector’s workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
