Application of the Unit

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a tower crane.

Self-erecting tower cranes are not included in this unit of competency.

Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work.
