What does the test cover?

The written assignment for intermediate rigging is a ¿closed book¿ examination consisting of two sections, each section containing three tasks:

Section 1: Dual lifting
Section 2: Tilt-slab erection

Further details of the knowledge and skills required to complete assessment are available in the unit of competency to Perform intermediate rigging operations (PDF, 187 KB).

A full assignment includes five minutes reading time and up to 25 minutes to complete.

To pass the assignment, the applicant must provide an acceptable answer to each task in both of the sections.

How am I assessed?

In the written assignment the certificate assessor evaluates the applicant¿s conceptual understanding of rigging techniques, his/her ability to apply to read and interpret drawings and specifications.

On completion of the assessment the assessor will determine whether the applicant can safely undertake, without direct supervision, the tasks encompassed within units of competence 1.0 and 2.0 comprising intermediate rigging prescribed by Schedule A of the National Occupational Health and Safety Certification Standard for Users and Operators of Industrial Equipment (NOHSC:1006, 2001) (non-Queensland Government link)

An applicant undergoing re-assessment need only be re-assessed in those sections which he or she previously failed to provide three satisfactory answers.

Any other partial or full waiver of assessment should only be permitted in compliance with guidelines, determinations or advice given to the assessor by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.
