5 TRAINING DELIVERY ADVICE 5.1 Trainer’s guide and trainees’ workbook/handouts

5.1.1 The ATP is required to prepare a trainer’s guide for the course. The guide provides the trainer with information on the course including

Course aim

Learning objectives

Target audience

Assumed skills and knowledge

Course duration

Class size and trainer/trainee ratio

Lesson plan

Course contents and instructional materials

Training methodologies

Training resource requirements

Course administration instruction

5.1.2 The ATP can also facilitate the learning process by providing each trainee with a trainee’s workbook or handouts. This set of notes should contain the course aim, learning objectives and the key learning points (WSHA 2006, subsidiary legislations, industrial code of practice, safety guidelines etc) as well as guides for learning activities including safe use of a mobile crane, tower crane and gantry crane. 5.1.3 The ATP is required to prepare and submit a course reference matrix (see Annex C) for coverage of course contents with respect to the training slides and the assessment modes.

5.1.4 It is the responsibility of the ATP to ensure that no part of the materials used for the training infringe on patent, design, copyright and intellectual property rights of any individual or organization. 5.1.5 The ATP shall retain an updated version of the training course syllabus, lesson plan, trainer’s guide and trainee’s workbook or handout at all times for inspection and verification by MOM.

5.2 Training methodology

5.2.1 Knowledge The knowledge component of this course is primarily focused on the requirements of the WSH (Construction) Regulations, WSH (Operation of Cranes) Regulations 2011 and Codes of Practices concerning lifting operations. There is also some degree of computation and key points on the use of mobile crane and tower crane. These can be delivered in a classroom using models and slides. To enhance

6 CDA_LSSC

learning, the following delivery methods can also be used to supplement classroom lectures:

Case studies (with or without video) Group discussion Videos and other e-resources and instructional media Problem-based learning and instruction Report writing exercise

5.2.2 Skill In terms of skills, it may be useful for the trainees to proceed on-site for demonstration and practice. The demonstration and practice may include four key skills:

Plan and supervise safe lifting operation involving mobile cranes, tower cranes and other lifting machines

Conduct pre-operation check, job planning, crane set-up, crane safe operation and crane shut-down

Check and supervise proper slinging and rigging practices Conduct inspection of lifting gear and accessories to ensure safe usage

5.2.3 Attribute Accidents can happen very fast at the worksite. A competent Lifting Supervisor in the construction industry must have a very high sense of “situational awareness”. At all times he must

Be aware of all movements within the vicinity of the crane

Be in full control of the whole crane operations

Be quick to react to any sign of danger to the crane operations

5.3 Training venue requirements

5.3.1 The ATP shall ensure that the classroom used for this LSSC training has adequate seating for the class of 30. Seating facilities inclusive of writing tables must be reasonably and comfortably spaced so as to be conducive to the learning process and for the purpose of conducting the assessment. Classrooms must be equipped with projectors, whiteboards, flipcharts and models of different types of cranes. The classroom must have adequate lighting and ventilation. Emergency exit routes must be clearly marked out and briefed to the course trainees at the start of the course.

5.3.2 Arrangements may be made for trainees to go on-site for a demonstration and practice or to observe an actual crane operation in progress or through models. This on-site training helps to promote experiential learning which forms a necessary part of the skills component of the training.

6 ASSESSMENT ADVICE 6.1 General guidelines for conducting competency-based assessment.

6.1.1 The ATP is required to prepare and submit an assessment plan (see Annex D for proposed sample with table of contents) for the LSSC. The aim of the assessment plan is to determine the competency of the trainee to undertake the role of a Lifting Supervisor at the construction site upon successful completion of the LSSC.

6.1.2 The assessment plan must be directly related to all the learning objectives determined in the course. It comprises four main parts: Overview of the assessment tools and its duration Instructions for the conduct of the assessment Instruments or tools of assessment (Question paper, checklist ) Assessment summary record

6.1.3 The assessment plan is subject to review on an annual basis by the ATP to ensure that trainees are constantly kept current and competent to perform up to the industrial requirements.

6.2 Principles of assessment Assessment will be fair, valid, reliable and flexible for all trainees without deliberate

barriers against the individual.

Fair – Are the assessments criteria clear? Do all the trainees know what to expect from the assessment? Does the assessment disadvantage any trainee? Do the trainees have any recourse to appeal?

Valid – Are the assessment methods and tools appropriate and effective in

assessing what they claim to assess. Are the evidence collected relevant to the training and demonstrates that the learning outcome has been achieved?

Reliability – Are the results consistent from one assessment to another? Do people

have the confidence that the standards are applied consistently from learner to learner and from context to context?

8 CDA_LSSC

Flexibility – Can the assessment be used for multiple assessments? Are the assessment tools and methods uniform across different approaches and drawing on a range of different methods? Can they be used appropriately to the context, task and individual under assessment?

6.3 Assessment tools and instruments

6.3.1 The ATP must conduct written test (compulsory) and use one or more skill-based assessment method such as practical performance, role-play or case study. There are four assessment instruments recommended to ATP: Written test (WT) – This method of assessment is quick and the most convenient

to conduct. It can be used for a large class and a wide range of subjects particularly knowledge-based. It can be conducted as a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ).

Practical Performance (PP) – This method is highly recommended for skills assessment. It can be matched very closely to the actual task to be performed by the individual on the job. However PP can be tedious and time consuming if not properly planned and executed.

Role play (RP) – This method of assessment is an alternative to the practical

performance. It offers a greater flexibility and more options in terms of the range of responses expected of the trainee. Like PP, it is time consuming and resource intensive.

Case study (CS) – This method of assessment allows the ATP to use a wide range

of real on-site accident cases for training purposes. The materials are readily available on MOM website.

6.3.2 The total allocated time for assessment of the LSSC is 3 hours comprising 2 hours for 80 MCQ written test and 1 hour for other modes of assessment. 6.3.2.1 Written Test (WT) - 100 marks (2 hours):

Section A (85 marks): 10 MCQ (2 marks each) related to Lifting Plan and its requirements under the topic Planning for Safe Lifting Operations. 10 MCQ (1 mark each) related to Rigger and Signalman (R&S) 55 MCQ (1 mark each) on roles and duties of lifting personnel, legislations, safe work practices and other topics as in syllabus Pass Criteria: 65% Section B (15 marks):

9 CDA_LSSC

5 MCQ (3 marks each) on load chart interpretation related areas under the topic Planning for Safe Lifting Operations Pass Criteria: 100% Trainees need to satisfy Pass Criteria in Section A and Section B to be considered to have achieved a Pass for the Written Test WT.

6.3.2.2 Other modes of assessments (PP/RP/CS) – 1 hour:

There should be interaction for discussion and participation by trainees to demonstrate skills and knowledge based on ‘show-and-tell’ technique where there should be evidence record to justify the competence of trainees.

Pass criteria: 65% (RP/CS); Pass Criteria: Competent (PP)

6.3.2.3 In the event trainee fail the assessments, ATP has the jurisdiction to allow

re-test only (without re-siting the course) on the failed assessment(s) provided there is sufficient justification for this decision.

6.4 Briefing to trainees

6.4.1 The briefing to trainees is to explain the purpose and context of

assessment so as to ensure that there are no surprises during the conduct of assessment

6.4.2 The briefing to trainees should include

the assessment requirements and process, including clear instructions on each of the assessment to be taken

trainee’s rights & process of appeal to assessment outcome

6.4.3 During the briefing, assessors must take the opportunity to confirm with

trainee on any special needs & explain how needs will be addressed during assessment

6.4.4 Assessor must seek feedback and clarify trainee’s understanding of

assessment requirements before commencement of the assessment 6.5. Conduct of assessment 6.5.1 Assessment must be conducted strictly in accordance with the assessment

plan. In particular, each trainee must complete all the assessment requirements in the time allocated.

6.5.2 A judgment on the competency of the trainee must only be made based on the evidence gathered. The evidence for each of the assessment instrument is given in the suggested response to the WT and the checklist accompanying the PP, RP and CS.

10 CDA_LSSC

6.6 Recording and reporting of assessment outcome 6.6.1 All assessment outcomes must be accurately recorded in the assessment

summary record form. 6.6.2 Assessment outcome will be communicated to the trainee. 6.6.3 The ATP shall maintain a record of the assessment results for 2 years for

inspection by MOM. 7 TRAINER AND ASSESSOR REQUIREMENTS A trainer and assessor of this LSSC should possess the following:

Successfully completed the Rigger course, Signalman course and Lifting Supervisor Safety Course

WSQ Specialist Diploma in Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) qualification or equivalent; and

At least 5 years relevant working experience; and Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA) qualification or

equivalent. 8 END OF COURSE EVALUATION AND FEEDBACK 8.1 The ATP shall conduct an end-of-course evaluation at the end of each course. Trainees shall be allowed to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback on the course content, duration, training delivery, training materials, training venue, training resources, quality of trainers and assessors. 8.2 The ATP shall monitor the end-of-course evaluation and feedback closely to ensure that the ratings are consistently above 3. Immediate action should be taken whenever the ratings fall below 3. These actions should be properly recorded and kept for audit inspection.
