Level Three Assessments

WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello once again, and welcome to another Crane Association of New Zealand newsletter. This month’s column is short and sweet, which is why I’ll start with the most exciting – and arguably, most important – bit of news first.

We will report back to you with more details once we’ve received all the feedback. Also, on the Council meeting agenda were discussions about Association subscriptions. Options have been tabled, which will need your scrutiny at our next Annual General Meeting, that subscriptions be categorised on the volume of cranes owned.

Following last year’s CANZ roadshow, it was made abundantly clear that the industry wanted more certainty around training, qualifications, and Verification of Competency (VOC).

Rather than the current format, payment will be categorised from 1-3 cranes: 4-9: and 10-15. But there will be more information for you to consider ahead of the AGM.

So, as you know, we’ve been running a CANZ Accreditation Licence Programme pilot (stage 3 only) on the CICA CrewSafe online assessment app, through the month of February 2020.

Additionally, the Council discussed its possible composition of Council representation options, and how best to ensure every sector of our industry is given equitable weight within the Association.

We received a little feedback from Fletchers and McLeod Cranes participants at our recent February 11 Council meeting. They have been using the VOC tool with help from Crane Industry Council of Australia’s (CICA) Patrick Cran, with some of the Crane Association of NZ / Skills Assessors observing the process.

To this end, we’ve mooted the idea of including specific industry stakeholders for representative positions – such as power or crawler crane representatives. To review some of the above options these will be highlighted in the CANZ Members only newsletter, we would appreciate member feedback before 1 May 2020.

As CICA’s Plant and Operator Assessment Officer for CICA, Patrick has worked with crane owners, equipment manufacturers, and national and international trainers to help develop a standardised online assessment program that is machine-specific, impartial, and peer assessed.

But rest assured, we will wait for feedback before any decision is made. Thank you,

To give you further information on this, the CICA CrewSafe VOC assessment is currently a machine-specific, impartial, peer assessment with documented evidence of competency, including video footage of the operator conducting a series of tasks.

Tony Gibson Crane Association of New Zealand President

This tool is crucial to supporting our endeavours in creating our own licence – which is why we also had our own assessors, Stuart Hindley and Roger Sullivan, be a part of the process.

CANZ EXPERTISE TO BE SOUGHT IN FUTURE GUIDANCE DEVELOPMENT

Following comprehensive multi-industry consultation to modernise legislation critical to the crane industry, the process to develop new regulations to replace the current Health and Safety in Employment (Pressure Equipment, Cranes, and Passenger Ropeways) Regulations 1999 is progressing. WorkSafe’s Principal Engineer of Health and Technical Services, Stuart Wright, says all the submissions have been received and are being analysed by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Mr Wright is WorkSafe’s foremost expert on Pressure Equipment, Cranes, and Passenger Ropeways (PECPR) regulations. MBIE has signalled to all industry stakeholders that, subject to cabinet approvals, implementation is intended for in 2021. Mr Wright says that after the regulations are passed, WorkSafe will begin work on revising the approved codes and other guidance that supports them. He expects there to be a big role for CANZ in this work and that WorkSafe looks forward to working alongside the industry to use its expertise and develop workable solutions. “Given CANZ is an industry leader, and its members' already manage crane safety very well, I’m confident they will be able to smoothly implement any changes required. “From submissions received in response to the draft documents that went out, it’s quite clear that what we’ve got is working well, we need to bring it into the 21st Century, given that the regulation is 20 years old. “So, it’s an opportunity to set standards for the next 20 years.” Having attended multiple industry focus groups, he says there is widespread positivity from most sectors about the proposed changes. “We recognise that regulations need to be more dynamic to allow for innovation that has happened over the last 20 years, and that will be taken care of by new regulations and the re-writing of the guidance that we have. “The Approved Code of Practice for Cranes that supports the PECPR regulations was last revised in 2009, so it is 10 years out of date. “Much of the technology that is in the market today probably wasn’t even dreamt of then when the code of practice was written, and I have knowledge that it doesn’t fit some of the quite recent and exciting developments that have come through Europe and other places.” There are calls for change and additions. However, Mr Wright believes the main changes CANZ members submitted for – high risk work licences – won’t be actively investigated until the next stage of regulation development.

ANNOUNCING NEW CANZ PREMIER BUSINESS YEAR-LONG SPONSOR While Skills’ council position is slightly different from others, Carl assures members and the industry that Skills and CANZ are singing from the same song sheet.

New Zealand’s largest industry training organisation – with over 25 years of go-to skills – has once again signed up to support the Crane Association of New Zealand, this time as a premier business year-long sponsor.

“We sit at the Council table because CANZ recognise the value and importance of training. “It’s just coming from a different angle to provide balance to the conversation around training and assessment; what’s possible, and where any limitations or barriers might be.

Carl Rankin

Skills confirmed its support as a significant financial supporter of CANZ late last year to underpin training and help raise the standard of the country’s crane industry.

“Because training and assessment is a fundamental thing, our role is to make it easier for our industries to gain qualifications."

This level of support and commitment to the crane Industry also extends to Skills taking a representative role on the CANZ Council – which falls to Carl Rankin, Skills’ Industry Manager - Specialist Trades.

While some of those possibilities may involve developing new training programmes as appropriate technology advances, Skills can help CANZ navigate obstacles such as the recognition of current competencies.

“Our involvement is slightly different from that of a regular CANZ member. We’re a member because we’re involved with the industry as a standard setting body for the crane industry.

“More and more people are coming from overseas, but how do we recognise the qualifications that they have which will allow them to work and be employed by New Zealand crane companies? Because currently that can be quite difficult.

“So, we support the industry however we can, and part of that is sitting on the CANZ Council as a representative of Skills – and we also want to give back in other ways where we can.”

“So, we’re trying to streamline and standardise an approach where we can make that as easy as possible, so people who are highly-trained and qualified will be recognised. “That’s a big project, given that there are so many different countries with their own rules and regulations, so we’re working on finding a standard benchmark.

Carl says Skills have been involved with the industry for a number of years – as well as sponsoring many CANZ Conferences in some shape or form.

“And we’re looking forward to supporting the crane industry by delivering something that will be useful for them.”

But he says given that Skills is the standard setting body, it’s the perfect opportunity to feed into the CANZ’s business as it is a key industry stakeholder, and for CANZ to feed into Skills as one of their industry training members. “So, that works well and for us to, especially as keeping our finger on the industry’s pulse is crucial for Skills. “We want to give back because part of our mandate as an ITO is to support our industries where we can. If there are lots of people in training, that generally means we’re able to provide more support and assistance.” Additionally, Skills is only too happy to support CANZ in its efforts to promote training and the raising of industry-wide standards

Ian Marshall, first person to complete the New Zealand Certificate in Cranes (L3) with the strand in Dogman

This, he believes, will not only benefit Skills’ future endeavours, but CANZ’s visions too.

PINPOINTING EVERY HAZARD, INCLUDING THE CONCEALED Following an incident early in his career, the Crane Association of New Zealand’s Past President, Scott McLeod, has never been more diligent of the residential sector’s hidden dangers in this month’s The Technical Corner.

Traditional building methods ensured soak holes were placed in the back of the property, like septic tanks, which didn’t affect crane companies too much.

Working for his dad in the 90s, Scott McLeod was tasked with lifting a single garage shed over a Katikati house and into the homeowner’s backyard using a Kato MR100.

However, improved technology and changes to building methods now mean drainage cells can be placed under the driveway, with nearly twice as many soak holes located around the property – which are also now smaller in size.

Parked between two houses, he couldn’t quite manoeuvre it on to its concrete pad. So, he lowered the shed short of the pad and released the rigging.

Then add a crane into that mix, and it’s a recipe for disaster, Scott says.

“I then retracted the boom, leaving it short over the rear of the crane before raising my outrigger legs leaving the outriggers out."

“We used to set up on the driveway or the front lawn of somebody’s property but now, if you do that without gaining knowledge of where these are through the council and the property owner with council drawings for underground services – you could be setting up on a soak hole or a drainage cell.

Concerned he was causing the customer further delays, the Managing Director of McLeod Cranes then backed the crane up and promptly fell into a septic tank. “Luckily, I had my outriggers out which caught the crane, so I jacked myself up worked out that I had now moved back far enough to place the garage.

“These are hidden hazards that haven’t been as prevalent in the past as they are now. “So, it’s not just good enough to look at the plan, you have to talk to someone who saw them get put in or has a little more knowledge doing a new build, to check where they are.

“So, while straddling the septic tank, I finished the job but now I couldn’t drive out. I had to call my dad – he said I was on my own and to stop stuffing around,” he (now) remembers fondly. “I soon worked out a plan to move forward using a number of timbers and the boom over the front of the crane. I left the legs out. I then crept forward and managed to cross the septic tank. I was very happy.” Unfortunately, things only became worse for Scott and his 10-tonne crane. By increasing the weight on the front axle, he’d pulled forward off the septic tank. But now weighing more, he had found a soak hole he had already crossed and was effectively trapped between two houses, the septic tank and a soak hole. “Ever since that day, I spend those extra few minutes digging up house plans and talking to people to identify what I’m seeing is actually what’s there before setting up the crane. “I’ve certainly learnt my lesson to take that extra bit of time and be diligent about the job.”

couple of years with a company.

“That means when someone rings you for a spa pool to be lifted over a fence or whatever, we now have to think about the due diligence that needs to occur in contacting the council or property owner.”

“So, I can’t stress enough that you have really got to work with those guys, including sending out your trainer or going out with them and teach them how to read plans and show them what they’ve got to be looking for.

Part of that due diligence may also involve calmly explaining to homeowners that ‘a simple job’ may require extra time to complete competently and safely.

“And that includes showing them my little 10-tonne crane tipped over, leaning against a home.

Because, says Scott, pressure from homeowners is always a concern.

“If that doesn’t send a message to everyone – because we’re passionate about health and safety – then I’m not sure what will.”

“It’s one of those tightropes you have to walk, and I’d suggest kindly pushing back a little so you can get the plans. “The likelihood of consequences is in the major category if the crane was to tip over, and the likelihood of that is probable. It’s not a case of if but when.” Compounding this particular hazard are those undertaking the lifting, who are usually in their first

TRAVEL TIME EXEMPTIONS The Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Dimensions and Mass 2016 (the Rule) resulted in a change to the swept path performance criteria. This change restricted a large portion of mobile cranes from obtaining travel time exemptions when compared to the revoked 2002 Rule. Transport Specifications Limited (TSL) has discussed these performance criteria with the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) and the repercussions for mobile cranes attempting to obtain travel time exemptions. The NZTA has agreed on a new performance criterion that TSL has devised for providing travel time exemptions/ reductions for mobile cranes, while a rule amendment is being discussed. TSL performance criteria is designed specifically for mobile cranes, resulting in a large portion of mobile cranes to be exempt from all travel time restrictions. These criteria consider the dimensions (including all equipment) of a mobile crane, which is then split into one of two divisions. The first division provides an exemption from all travel time restrictions. The second division reduces large mobile cranes travel time requirements to a category 1 over dimension vehicle. TSL have constructed an application form that will determine each mobile crane’s new travel time category. Mobile cranes are the only applicable vehicle and, for eligibility purposes, has been defined as: A self-propelled vehicle with the sole purpose of lifting objects. This definition does not include vehicles fit with a crane apparatus that can be used for any other purpose, such as transporting loads. A $180 fee will apply for reviewing the application, determining the new travel time category and providing an exemption (if applicable). Applications can be received from TSL via [email protected], or by contacting 09-415 9060.

RUC SECTION In addition to the swept path travel time exemption criteria changes that came in to force with the introduction of the Rule, there was also the introduction of a new tyre classification being “single mega tyre”. With the introduction of the new tyre classification, TSL identified a benefit for cranes running on 1600 R25 or large single tyres (including metric equivalents). The introduction of the single mega tyre classification results in an increased VDAM weight and subsequently an increase in weight covered by a vehicle’s RUC distance licence. With an increase in a vehicle’s distance licence, there is a follow-on effect where the additional RUC licence can be reduced proportionate to the increase of the vehicle’s RUC distance licence, which varies depending how many axles the crane has (provided the additional RUC licence was purchased correctly). Negotiation with NZTA took some time for them to agree. However, eventually they acknowledged that cranes with single mega tyres were eligible for the additional weight covered by their RUC distance licence due to the single mega tyre introduction. Upon acknowledgement, TSL identified that eligible cranes would also be due a refund of overpaid RUC’s back to the introduction date of the Rule, again provided the additional RUC licence was purchased correctly. An application form was developed so the changes could be loaded into NZTA’s database. Successful applications have yielded $473,912 in rebates. Some crane owners had been underpaying their RUC’s and have been required to pay this shortfall, which amounts to $68,292. TSL found some anomalies where the VDAM and RUC weight of some cranes were much lower than the previous 2002 rule allowed. The error comes down to the vehicle details being incorrectly entered into the NZTA database at time of first registration. In these cases, the applicable vehicle was due a refund of overpaid RUC’s back to its date of first registration. If you have not had your cranes checked, please contact us and we can review your vehicles RUC’s to ensure you are not overpaying. So far, we have processed 89 applications of cranes fitted with single mega tyres, and suggest there are approximately 100 more eligible cranes nationwide that have not been processed. ROUGH TERRAIN CRANES, REGISTRATION WOF OR COF AND RUC’S Should rough terrain cranes be paying RUC’s? One development we are noting in recent times is for rough terrain cranes to be registered to operate on public roads. We continue to be asked to register rough terrain cranes on a MR2b as a mobile machine registration, which mean they operate on a WOF instead of a COF. To meet these criteria, a crane must be:  Incapable of highway speed (highway speed is considered 50kph),  Designed principally for off-road use,  and runs on wheels without cushioning suspension. If a vehicle meets the above criteria, then it could be registered under MR2b. However, if the vehicle has a distance recorder – or a distance recorder can be fitted, and the vehicle uses the road – it still needs to have RUC vehicle type and is subject to RUC. If a vehicle does meet the criteria above, then they shall be registered on a MR2a as a special purpose vehicle (type13) and subject to full certification and compliance. The Road User Charges Act 2012 is a different requirement from vehicle licensing and all heavy vehicles are required to pay RUCs if operated on public roads. Many companies also assume that cranes registered on an MR2b and issued with WOF are not subject to RUC charges when in fact they are. CANZ MEMBERS MONTHLY MAGAZINE - March 2020

WHAT WILL ROVE LOOK LIKE ON 1 APRIL? In a legal sense, institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs) will become subsidiaries of the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST) (working name) and Boards of Directors will replace Commissioners. Industry training organisations (ITOs) will become Transitional ITOs. All existing employment agreements, Memorandums of Understanding, and contracts for goods and services will be transferred seamlessly. All current Academic Boards become subcommittees of the NZIST’s Academic Board, and the new NZQA Rules will come into effect to reflect the changes in legal status of ITPs and ITOs. For the NZIST, it’s likely that the location and name decisions will have been announced, and we were pleased to confirm Stephen Town as the new Chief Executive who will start in July.

vel Three Assessments

Enrolments now open for New Zealand Certificate in Cranes (Level 3 and 4) We’ve recently made some changes to the crane qualification to make sure it’s up to date and the best it can be. With the construction boom in full force, these changes have improved the qualification at a time where New Zealand needs more crane operators. We have been working closely with the crane industry through CANZ, and subject matter experts to develop the level 3 and 4 Units Standards and related programmes and strands. We can confirm that the NZ Certificate in Cranes (Level 3) with strands and the New Zealand Certificate in Cranes (Level 4) qualification is now available.

THINKING OF BECOMING A CRANE OPERATOR? Awesome! We’ve got the info you need right here. Crane operators love working with heavy machinery, working in teams and have good hand-eye coordination. If this sounds like a great way to spend your working day, you could have a bright future as a crane operator. Cranes play a massive role in New Zealand’s construction sector. By becoming a crane operator you’ll play a direct role in building up New Zealand’s infrastructure. Whether it’s lifting structures into place, moving heavy loads, or unloading containers from trucks – wherever there is development, there is a need for skilled crane operators. Crane operators use cranes to move large, heavy objects. This can include materials on construction sites, containers on wharves, and heavy parts in factories.

The Level 4 qualification will enable trainees to work in specialist crane operator or advanced dogman roles.

There’s lots of coordination and communication on the job – you’re not the only one on the job! Whether you’re operating the crane itself or you’re on the ground directing the crane, it’s all about the team working together effectively.

The available strands are:

On any given day you could be:

• Advanced Dogman

• Driving mobile cranes to and from work sites

• Crawler Crane

• Lifting loads using a crane

• Mini Crane

• Slinging loads for a crane to lift

• Mobile Crane

• Checking that the crane is set up correctly and securely

• Non-Slewing Articulated Crane

• Checking the crane’s water, fuel, and oil levels, as well as its other mechanical parts

• Tower Crane The training normally takes around nine months, depending on the strand chosen.
