- Selecting, fitting, testing, using and removing attachments on at least two different occasions. Attachments must be certified and approved in line with workplace procedures and could include, but not limited to, forks, hammer or multipurpose bucket.
- Assisting with loading and unloading the skid steer loader from a float/trailer
- Safely parking and securing the equipment
Knowledge Evidence
Participants must demonstrate their knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of the unit. This includes:
- Key policies and procedures, legislation and necessary requirements for skid steer loader operations, including those relating to isolation requirements
- Key factors affecting work activities described in performance evidence, including equipment processes, technical capability and limitations
- Key features associated with civil construction works, including basic principles of material technology
Assessment Conditions
The mandatory assessment must:
- Be conducted in a safe environment in the context of the sector
include access to a skid steer loader, appropriate materials for shifting and personal protective equipment - Be compliant with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the relative industry sector
