(b) Not applicable. (c)-(f) In WA, all crane operators must undergo supervised and/or accredited training. “Accredited” training means training provided by a Registered Training Organisation under the Australian National Training Authority framework. Responsibility for delivery of such accredited training lies with the State Training Authority. All crane operators in Western Australia must have been assessed as competent against the requirements of the National Certification Standard for users and operators of Industrial Equipment [NOHSC: 1006(2001)]. The person carrying out that “assessment of competency” (the Assessor) must be a person registered with WorkSafe. A key recommendation of the Crane Safety Standard Working Group set up by the Hon. Minister for Consumer and Employment Protection to advise on safety standards in the crane industry was to develop regulations which will require crane operators, riggers and doggers in WA to maintain records of training and experience, including a record of practical on-the-job experience, prior to and after achieving certificates of competency. These regulations are currently being developed. (g) No.
