Elements and performance criteria
Element 1
Prepare boats for mechanical lifting.
Performance criteria
1.1
Adjustment of boat weight prior to lifting matches the capacity of the lifting
equipment.
Range
1.2
Selection of lifting points enables the boat to be trimmed to task requirements,
prevents damage to the boat and associated equipment and facilities, and
prevents injury to people.
Range
1.3
removal of equipment, fittings, excess ballast.
boat damage – permanent structural weakening or distortion,
superficial damage.
Additional strengthening and support for the hull and appendages are provided
to prevent damage and injury.

1.4
Lifting strops are positioned to the requirements of the lifting equipment
operator.
Element 2
Land and lift boats from containment systems.
Range
containment systems – cradles, trailers.
Performance criteria
2.1
The lifted boat is positioned over the trailer to prevent damage on landing
and/or subsequent re-lifting.
2.2
Landing and lifting are monitored visually and aurally so that contingency action
can be taken before damage or injury can occur.
Range
2.3
contingency actions – stop lift, re-lift, provide additional or
alternative containment system.
Alignment of boat on containment system matches requirements for task
accessibility.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
