This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. |
| PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
| A learner accredited with this standard will be able to operate lift trucks for the safe and efficient movement and stacking of freight in a variety of work environments, and take basic care of the equipment in compliance with lift truck manufacturers` and legislated standards. |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
It is preferable that the driver be declared physically fit and have completed an eyesight test (such as the Orthorator test, the Purdue University Test No. 3, etc.) and an industry recognised depth perception and hand-eye co-ordination test. |
| UNIT STANDARD RANGE |
| The applied competence expressed in this standard may be demonstrated across a range of lifting trucks (capacity, functionality) involved in familiar operational functions in any industry context, and in any environmental conditions. The learner has significant responsibility for efficiency (safety and quantity) of practice where limited discretion and judgement are required for solving largely familiar problems.
The certificate of competence issued must indicate the equipment, its rated capacity and the attachments in terms of which the learner has demonstrated competence. |
