Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to calculate mass, area and quantify dimensions.It includes calculating loads to be transported or placed in storage, calculating load limits of transport and/or storage systems, and organising the loading in accordance with relevant legislation and workplace requirements.Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Calculate loads for transport or storage
- 1.1 Order forms and work orders are read, and requirements are noted
- 1.2 Shape, balance characteristics, dimensions and mass of load/s are identified
- 1.3 Weights and volumes are totalled to calculate load requirements of transport or storage system
2 Calculate load limits of transport and/or storage
- 2.1 Allowable load limits for storage and/or transport systems are identified in accordance with legislative requirements and workplace procedures
- 2.2 Capacity of transport and storage systems in terms of mass, area and volume is calculated
3 Organise loads
- 3.1 Loads are restricted to allowable range
- 3.2 Loads are spread to ensure safe weighting on pallets, trucks, platforms or other storage or transport systems
- 3.3 Appropriate workplace documentation is completed
