This course is designed for participants to gain the necessary skills to operate a jib or boom/jib crane mounted on a tower structure, demountable or permanent, including both horizontal and luffing jib types. This program does not cover self-erecting tower cranes. This program meets the SafeWork NSW prescribed needs for the National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work.

On completion of this program participants will be able to effectively communicate and work safely with others in the work area, risk assessment and management procedures, plan the cranes work, conduct routine checks of the crane, positioning and setting up the crane, transfer loads and shut down and secure the crane.

  • Any participant who is given a fail grade will be subjected to pay a reassessment fee. (Reassessment fees can vary depending on if plant and/or equipment will need to be rehired for the reassessment, how many components of the assessement you have failed as this effects the time it takes to be reassessed and the delivery of the reassessment e.g. verbal). Any subsequent fail grades will also attract a reassessment fee. 
     
    If a participant fails an assessment they can be reassessed after forty eight (48) hours from the time they failed their initial assessment. You have ninety (90) days from the date you fail your initial assessement to be reassessed. If you neglect to arrange to be reassessed within the ninety (90) days then you must re-do the entire program from the beginning and pay the program fee again. 
     
    The usual reassessment fee is $250.00 per person depending on the circumstances (as mentioned above) this amount can vary.
