LM-2: Lift and Move a Load

Overview:

You will be learning towards the outcome “Lift and move a load”.  Whilst learning towards the outcome, you will be familiarising yourself with the lifting and moving of loads by applying the correct use of chain blocks, overhead beams, rollers and jacks. The load will also be lifted over a pipe column using two chain blocks.

Key and critical concepts which you will learn:

On completion of this module, the trainee must be able to:

  1. Lift and move loads of up to 5 tons safely and effectively.
  2. Lift and move loads with chain blocks and an overhead beam over a pipe column.
  3. Move a load using crowbars and rollers.
  4. Lift and move a load using jacks
  5. All safety procedures must be adhered to.

Application:

Machines and equipment must be handled and lifted correctly in order to avoid damage and to prevent accidents. Loads are lifted and moved with various types of lifting equipment and lifting tackle.

Tools, consumables, machinery and equipment required:

  • Rollers
  • Shackles
  • Overhead beam
  • Crowbars
  • Slings
  • Hand Chain Blocks

UL: Check and Use Ladders

Overview:

You will be learning towards the outcome “Check and use ladders”.  Whilst learning towards the outcome, you will be familiarising yourself with the identification, inspection, and correct use of four types of ladders.

Key and critical concepts which you will learn:

On completion of this module, the trainee must be able to:

  • The check list must be completed before using the ladder.
  • The ladder must be one quarter of its own height away from the wall at the bottom if used against a wall.
  • The stiles must be lashed at the top if the ladder is used against a structure.
  • The top of the ladder must extend at least one metre above the stepping off point.
  • At least four rungs of extending ladders must overlap.
  • When using ladders vertically they must be lashed at the top and bottom.
  • Safety belts must be worn if work on a ladder is carried out at a height that is greater than your own height.

Tools, consumables, machinery and equipment required:

  • Step ladders
  • Straight portable ladders
  • Extending ladders
  • Fixed ladders
  • Safety Harness
  • Tag lines
  • PPE
