Description

Welcome to the CPCCLSF2001 Basic Level Training Course for Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding. This is a SB High Risk Work Licence.

This course provides the necessary skills and knowledge to safely perform basic scaffolding.

Scaffolding involves the erecting, modifying or dismantling of a temporary structure that supports a platform where a person or an object could fall over four metres.

This unit applies to scaffolding works that:

1. Modular or prefabricated scaffolds.
   
2. Cantilevered material hoists with maximum working loads of 500 kg.
   
3. Ropes.
   
4. Gin wheels
   
5. Safety nets and static Lines
   
6. The bracket scaffold (tanks and formwork)
   

Scaffolding is used in construction and other industries that require temporary scaffolding.

Structures are constructed, altered and demolished.

Anyone who performs construction work must complete the general construction induction program, as specified in the Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice: Construction Work. This requirement is met by completing CPCCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely within the construction industry.

A licence is not automatically granted for competence in this unit. After assessing competence in accordance with applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory work health and Safety (WHS) regulations, a licence can be obtained.

Background - What Role Does Scaffolding Play in Construction Projects?

Formwork scaffolding is used in most construction projects to create the foundations that support buildings and infrastructure.

The formwork scaffolding is crucial to ensuring that concrete pours and shapes accurately according to design specifications.

Types and types of scaffolding for formwork

There are many types of scaffolding for formwork, each with a specific function in construction.

Understanding the differences can help you choose the best formwork for your project.

The role of formwork scaffolding in construction projects

Supporting Concrete and Materials

1. Supports concrete slabs, beams and walls during pouring and cure.
   
2. By bearing the weight of the construction materials, the sling ensures structural integrity of the finished building.
   

Safety and accessibility for workers:

1. Provides a stable platform to allow workers to perform tasks in different heights.
   
2. Reduces the risk for accidents and injuries at construction sites.
   
3. Access to difficult-to-reach places is made easier, improving efficiency.
   
4. Safety standards require correct installation and regular inspection.
   
5. To minimise risk, workers need to be trained in the proper use of scaffolding and equipment.
