Identify, allocate and plan the deployment and use of plant, equipment or machinery
Overview
"This standard is about identifying, allocating and planning the deployment and use of plant, equipment or machinery for operational requirements, and providing opportunities for improvements in the use of plant, equipment or machinery to be suggested in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements.
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction site management which is defined as the management of multiple construction trades and disciplines and can be used by supervisors and managers"
Performance criteria

allocation of plant, equipment or machinery and operators, as
the project progresses or changes occur and make
recommendations on the use of alternative types of plant,
equipment or machinery to decision-makers
