MISCELLANEOUS

Basic scaffolding – consists of scaffolding work connected with the operation or use of: Modular or pre-fabricated scaffolds Cantilevered materials hoists with a maximum working load of 500kg Ropes and gin wheels Safety nets and static lines, and Bracket scaffolds (tank and formwork).

Intermediate scaffolding – consists of all basic scaffolding work including scaffolding work connected with the use and operation of: Cantilevered crane-loading platforms Cantilevered and spurred scaffolds Barrow ramps and sloping platforms Perimeter safety screens and shutters Mast climbers, and Tube and coupler scaffolds (including tube and coupler covered ways and gantries).

Advanced scaffolding – consists of all intermediate scaffolding work including all other scaffolding work connected with the use and operation of: Hung scaffolds, including scaffolds hanging from tubes, wire ropes or chains, and Suspended scaffolds.

Rigging & Dogging 

Dogging – consists of the application of slinging techniques to move a load (including the selection and inspection of lifting gear) and/or the directing of a crane/hoist operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of the view of the crane/hoist operator.

Basic rigging – consists of dogging and rigging work involving: Movement of plant and equipment Steel erection Hoists (including mast climbing hoists) Placement of pre-cast concrete Safety nets and static lines Perimeter safety screens and shutters, and Cantilevered crane-loading platforms.

Intermediate rigging – consists of all basic rigging work including rigging work involving: Cranes, conveyors, dredges and excavators Tilt slabs Hoists with jibs and self-climbing hoists Demolition Dual lifts

Advanced rigging – consists of all intermediate rigging work including rigging work involving: Gin poles and shear legs Flying foxes and cableways Guyed derricks and structures Suspended and fabricated hung scaffolds

Crane & Hoist Operations 

Tower crane – covers the operation of a jib or boom crane mounted on a tower structure, demountable or permanent, including both horizontal and luffing jib types.

Self-erecting tower crane – covers the operation of a crane where the tower structure and boom/jib elements are not disassembled into component sections, which can be transported between sites as a complete unit, and where the erection and dismantling processes are an inherent part of the crane’s function.

Derrick crane – covers the operation of a slewing strut-boom crane with its boom pivoted at the base of a mast which is either guyed (guy-derrick) or held by backstays (stiff-legged derrick) and which is capable of luffing under load.

Portal boom crane – covers the operation of a boom crane or jib crane mounted on a portal frame, which is supported on runways along which the crane travels.

Bridge and gantry crane – covers the operation of bridge and gantry cranes controlled from a permanent cabin or control station on the crane and those which are remote controlled having more than three powered operations (hoist, raise and lower equals one operation), including the application of load estimation and slinging techniques to move a load.

Vehicle loading crane – covers the operation of a crane with a capacity of 10 metre tonnes or more, mounted on a vehicle to move a load onto or from the vehicle, including the application of load estimation and slinging techniques to move a load.

Non-slewing mobile crane – covers the operation of a mobile crane of greater than 3 tonnes capacity that incorporates a boom or jib which includes articulated type mobile cranes and locomotive cranes, but does not include vehicle tow trucks.

Slewing mobile crane – with a capacity up to 20 tonnes
Slewing mobile crane – with a capacity up to 60 tonnes
Slewing mobile crane – with a capacity up to 100 tonnes
Slewing mobile crane – with a capacity over 100 tonnes

Materials hoist – covers the operation of a builder’s hoist by which only goods or materials and not personnel may be hoisted and where the car, bucket or platform is cantilevered from, and travels up and down externally to, a face of the support structure.

Personnel and materials hoist – covers the operation of a builder’s hoist in which personnel, goods and/or materials may be hoisted, and which comprises a car, structure, machinery or other equipment associated with the hoist, and which may be either a cantilever hoist, a tower hoist or a multiple winch operation.

Boom-type elevating work platform – covers the operation of a telescoping device, hinged device, or articulated device or any combination of these used to support a platform on which personnel, equipment and materials may be elevated to perform work, where the boom length is 11 metres or more. The 11 metre boom length shall be taken to mean the greater of the following: the vertical distance from the floor of the platform to the ground supporting the elevating work platform with the platform at its maximum height, or the nominal reach measured from the centre point of rotation to the outer edge of the platform in its most extended position.

Vehicle-mounted concrete placing boom – covers the operation of vehicle mounted concrete boom pumping systems, including a minimum of two boom stages, and the use and monitoring of the boom distribution system.

Forklift Operations 

Forklift truck – covers the operation of a powered industrial truck equipped with a mast and an elevating load carriage to which is attached a pair of forkarms or other attachment.

Order-picking forklift truck – covers the operation of a powered industrial truck of a type where the operator’s control arrangement is incorporated with the load carriage/lifting media, and elevates with it.

Pressure Equipment Operations 

Basic boiler operation – covers the operation of boilers with the following features: Single fixed combustion air-supply Non-modulating single heat source Fixed firing rate

Intermediate boiler operation – covers the operation of boilers with the following features: Modulating combustion air supply Modulating heat source Superheaters, and Economisers.

Advanced boiler operation – covers the operation of boilers with the following features: Same features as intermediate boiler operation, together with Multiple fuel type boilers which may be fired simultaneously. NOTE: This does not include boilers that change fuel types during start sequences.

Turbine operation – covers the operation of any turbine (except a turbine that produces a power output of less than 500kW) that: is multi-wheeled is capable of a speed greater than 3600rpm, or which uses attached condensers or a multi-staged heat exchange extraction process.

Reciprocating steam engine operation – covers the operation of steam equipment where the steam acts upon a piston under pressure where this action of the steam forces the piston to move, including expanding (steam) reciprocating engines, with any piston diameter of greater than 250 millimetres.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN). If you use a public Wi-Fi network, perhaps at a Mine Camp in an Uber, Taxi, Airport or Café, do you know who might be watching your actions or keyboard strokes on that network? Is the Wi-Fi network legit, or is it operated by or been hacked by a criminal, conman, conwoman or data thief who's after your personal data?

Only you can increase the security of your internet interactions, passwords, banking data, credit card numbers and private conversations by using a credible and trustworthy VPN. VPN creates a virtual encrypted tunnel to the Internet so your data is secure from prying eyes, hides your IP address, encrypts your data and also removes Geo-blocking restrictions to unblock most websites from any country. 

Geo-blocking is a technology that restricts access to Internet content based upon the user's geographical location. Geo-blocking is also used on websites to prevent shoppers in some countries from being able to buy products and services for cheaper prices overseas.

There are hundreds of other free and subscription VPN services available, do your homework! Hola VPN is recommended by FIFO STAFF 100% Free! and used by over 177 Million people worldwide.
