This nationally recognised unit of competence from the RII – Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package is available for those who are already working in relevant industries where working at heights is a requirement. The learner, through a combination of theory and practical, will gain the necessary skill and knowledge to work safely in a broad range of situations operating a bridge or gantry crane. This unit of competence is aligned with Australian Standard AS 2550.3-2002 Cranes, hoists and winches – Safe use, Part 3: Bridge, gantry, portal (including container cranes) and jib cranes with clear focus on compliance with the current codes of practice.

Learners will need to have adequate English language, literacy and numeracy and digital skills to be able to participate fully in the training.

The program has been developed to provide learners with general skills, background information and specific knowledge about operating a bridge or gantry crane, which is then applied in discussion, questioning, role-plays and practical application for the industry specific unit.
The program is delivered ‘on-the-job’ at the client’s premises. Training delivery combines face-to-face trainer led theory classes and practical sessions. In most cases there will be no more than 10 learners in any class.
Learners are provided with all required course material including a training manual that covers all parts of the course. Additional material will be made available during training sessions if required.
Forkpro Australia, as far as is practical, will ensure that employers and learners are kept informed of their progress throughout the training and assessment process.
