Description

Welcome to the Licence to Saw and cut concrete pavement to initiate planned cracks (CR) Refresher / Verification of Competency (VOC) Training & Assessment. There are a large number of risks and dangers for anybody sawing and cuting concrete pavement to initiate planned cracks. This VOC assessment course has been designed to give you an understanding of these risks and the system in place to help keep you safe. It also serves as an assessment for PCBU’s or business operators to ensure they are compliant with the WHS Act (or equivalent) in that operators of plant are competent.

This VOC is designed for those who are required to Saw and cut concrete pavement to initiate planned cracks as part of their role. The aim of this VOC assessment is to ensure that you are competent when you are currently licenced to Saw and cut concrete pavement to initiate planned cracks (licence class CR)

Features of this refresher training include:

- Download a VOC Certificate on successful completion

- A Digital Wallet ID VOC Card is also issued once all your documentation is verified and you’ve been deemed competent by the assessor (see 'John Citizen' sample)

- Verification of competency by our RTO partner, Alert Force RTO Code 91826 and a Licenced High Risk Work Assessor.

This training and assessment program addresses three components of the Licence to Saw and cut concrete pavement to initiate planned cracks CR class licence (all based upon the unit of competency standard set out in RIICRC319 or superseded equivalent). The 3 verifications of competency include:

1. Knowledge or theoretical component (tested online with a mixture of critical and non-critical questions)
2. Calculations component (tested online with all required to be answered correctly)
3. Performance component (practical with access to relevant workplace plant and equipment)

The VOC assessment is based upon the intent of the Mandated National Assessment Instruments (NAI’s). However, it is important to note that this training & assessment does not give you the practical skills required to operate or apply for a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) nor is it Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment. This is to be used for VOC purposes only. To achieve initial accreditation or high risk licensing for the CR class, you must complete an in-person training session with an RTO and Trainer accredited to deliver RIICRC319training.
