(b)  suspended scaffolds.

Rigging

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

(e)  safety nets and static lines, and

(f)  perimeter safety screens and shutters, and

(g)  cantilevered crane-loading platforms.

2.3  Intermediate rigging, consisting of all basic rigging together with other rigging work connected with the erection, movement or placement of plant or materials including:

(a)  load-equalising gear, and

(b)  cranes, conveyors, dredges and excavators, and

2.4  Advanced rigging, consisting of all intermediate rigging together with all other rigging work connected with the erection, movement or placement of plant or materials including:

(a)  gin poles and shear legs, and

(b)  flying foxes and cableways, and

(c)  guyed derricks and structures, and

(d)  suspended and fabricated hung scaffolds.

Crane and hoist operation

3.1  Operation and use of a tower crane (other than a self-erecting tower crane).

3.2  Operation and use of a self-erecting tower crane.

3.3  Operation and use of a derrick crane.

3.4  Operation and use of a portal boom crane.

3.5  Operation and use of a bridge or gantry crane (other than one that is remotely controlled and has 3 or fewer powered operations).

3.6  Operation and use of a vehicle-loading crane with a capacity of 10 metre tonnes or more.

3.7  Operation and use of a non-slewing mobile crane with a capacity of greater than 3 tonnes.

3.8.1  Operation and use of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of up to and including 20 tonnes.

3.8.2  Operation and use of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of up to and including 60 tonnes.

3.8.3  Operation and use of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of up to and including 100 tonnes.

3.8.4  Operation and use of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of more than 100 tonnes.

3.9  Operation and use of a materials hoist.

3.10  Operation and use of a personnel and materials hoist.

3.11  Operation and use of a boom-type elevating work platform with a boom 11 metres or more in length.

3.12  Operation and use of a vehicle-mounted concrete-placing boom.

Operation and use of fork-lift trucks

4.1  Operation and use of a fork-lift truck.

4.2  Operation and use of an order picking fork-lift truck.

Operation of pressure equipment

5.1  Basic boiler operation, consisting of the operation or use of any boiler whose operation relies on:

(a)  a single fixed combustion air supply, and

(b)  a non-modulating single heat source, and

(c)  a fixed firing rate.

5.2  Intermediate boiler operation, consisting of basic boiler operation together with the operation or use of any other boiler whose operation relies on:

(a)  a modulating combustion air supply, or

(b)  a modulating heat source, or

(c)  a superheater, or

(d)  an economiser.

5.3  Advanced boiler operation, consisting of intermediate boiler operation together with the operation or use of any other boiler whose operation relies on multiple fuel types that may be fired simultaneously. This does not include boilers that change fuel type during start sequence. For the purposes of this paragraph, a boiler that relies on multiple fuel types means a boiler that is fired using at least two of the following fuel types:

(a)  gas,

(b)  liquid fuel, including oil and diesel fuel,

(c)  solid fuel, including coal (including pulverised coal), briquettes, coke, wood (including wood chips) or any other type of solid fuel.
