  • TRAFFIC CONTROLLER CHANGES
                           

As from the 1st February 2012 Traffic Control will change over to RIIOHS205A Control Traffic with a Stop Slow Bat. The new course is a full 8 hour day training and participants are required complete an additional 20 hours on the site under the supervision by a Licenced Traffic Controller. Participants will still be required to complete an approved traffic controller course delivered by an RTO, must have held a licence for a continuous period of 12months in the last 5 years, pass the medical suitability requirements and criminal history check before loging their application with TMR.   More information on this process is avaliable on the TMR website.

 

LOADSHIFTING CHANGES

 

As from the 1st January 2012, loadshifting (excluding forklift) is no longer considered High Risk under the new Work Health & Safety Bill 2011. This means that operators are no longer required to hold a licence issued by WHSQ for these machines. This does not however mean that anyone is able to operate an item of plant. Worksafe Qld states "From 1 January 2012 it is the duty of a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to ensure competency of the operator when the plant is operated, so far as is reasonably practicable" Evidence of appropritae training and instruction for the type of plant  to be operated could be:

   *   A statement of attainment or other nationally recognised qualification

   *   Training completed at an industry training school

   *   On-the-job training conducted by an experienced competent person

   *  Current relevant experience

Licencing Procedure

The following steps are taken before a person is issued with a Licence to operate equipment under the scopes of 30496QLD (forklift only), 30494QLD and 30497QLD.

  • Applicant undertakes the on-the-job training with signed log books and gives the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) all required information together with a Statutory Declaration that this information is 'true and correct'.
  • Successfully completes the mandatory Challenge test - written and practical. All questions in the written assessment must be answered correctly to be deemed competent.
  • Completes the relevant 'G' form (Application for a certificate to work in a prescribed occupation) with the Trainer/Assessor.
  • The Trainer/Assessor then submits the above documents to the R.T.O. who, after checking that all the paperwork is correct, then issues a 'Statement of Attainment' to the applicant.
  • The R.T.O. then submits the 'G' form together with a certified copy of the 'Statement of Attainment' and the relevant fee to Workplace Health & Safety Qld within 5 days of completion of the 'G' form.
  • Once a receipt is issued for the fees paid to Workplace Health & Safety Qld, the applicant is certified competent and can then operate the machine he has been trained and assessed on. The applicant must have in their possession at all times, the 'Statement of Attainment' and a copy of the receipt for the WHSQ fees, whilst operating the equipment.
  • The Licence is then issued by Workplace Health & Safety Qld, and may take up to 3 weeks to be processed.
