This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to shift materials safely using manual handling methods.
It includes assessing the risks associated with relocating the load, planning the relocation process and carrying out the relocation in accordance with the plan. Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations concerning the manual handling and movement of loads.
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.
Assessment locations
Assessment maybe at the work place or simulated conditions that replicate operational workplace conditions
|
Assess risks associated with relocating load |
Products, goods or materials to be relocated are identified and assessed to determine appropriate relocation method |
||
|
Storage locations are determined and potential routes to be followed are identified |
|||
|
Effect of load relocation on original load base is predicted |
|||
|
Points of balance are estimated |
|||
|
Required clearances are compared to available space and adjustments are made to moving loads to reflect required clearance |
|||
|
Worksite hazards are identified, and corrective action is taken prior to commencing shifting products, goods or materials |
|||
|
Risks in potential routes are considered |
|||
|
Risks to self are identified arising from the required lifting, load carrying, set down or movement of products, goods or materials |
|||
|
Manual handling procedures for lifting, lowering and carrying, pushing and pulling are identified |
|||
|
Team lifting processes are considered when moving loads |
|||
|
Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is identified and used |
|||
|
Size to weight ratio of items to be manually handled are identified |
|||
|
Plan load relocation |
Relocation of the load is planned consistent with the code of practice for manual handling and in accordance with the risk assessment |
||
|
Process for relocating load is proposed, including predicting and planning for potential difficulties |
|||
|
Proposed process is checked for compliance with codes of practice and workplace procedures |
|||
|
Relocate load |
Actions for lifting, lowering and carrying, pulling and pushing a load are in accordance with workplace procedures and WHS/OHS requirements |
||
|
Team lifting tasks are coordinated |
|||
|
Planned process and route are followed |
|||
|
Relocated products, goods or materials are set down without damage to goods, personnel or equipment and are checked for stability |
|||
|
Relocation is checked to ensure it meets work requirements and variances are reported to relevant personnel |
Pre-requisite Unit

Not applicable |
Participants will be required to successfully complete an LLN assessment to confirm numeracy, reading, writing and language skills at least to ACSF Level 3 prior to enrolment into their selected course.
It is a requirements that participants wishing to attend this training be able to:
- enter and exit the work location safely and unaided
- have adequate mobility to be able to enter restricted /darkened work areas
- be able to conduct manual handling activities involving movement of persons
- have adequate mobility, eyesight and hearing to be able to observe their surrounding work area in all directions during activities.
Assessment requirements
Assessment will require a theory component and practical demonstration
Participants will undertake a theory assessment and a practical demonstration. The theory assessment consists of multiple choice, true or false and short answer questions, with a practical demonstration of skills to be observed. The practical assessment requires participants to demonstrate competence of this unit, including conducting CPR for a scenario provided.
