The program provides participants with the skills and knowledge to identify scaffold components, discard damaged equipment and erect and dismantle scaffold components.
As a result of this program, participants will be able to:
The purpose of this training is to enable workers to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding at the basic level, consisting of scaffolding work connected with the operation or use of modular or pre-fabricated scaffolds, cantilevered materials hoists with a maximum working load of 500kg, ropes and gin wheels, safety nets and static lines, and bracket scaffolds (tank and formwork) for licensing purposes
The program is delivered over 5 days consisting of 8 hour / days and is comprised of theory and practical sessions. The program culminates with the HRWL National assessment.
There are age restrictions set by the Work Health and Safety legislation, all participants must be at least 18 years of age to complete the National High Risk Work Licence Assessment.
This course requires the participant to comprehend and complete MIWT’s learning materials, i.e. MIWT’s Risk Assessment/ Job Safety Analyses. and the oral/written knowledge assessment.
Assessment requirements
Candidates must successfully complete all assessment activities in order to assessed as competent.
The assessment for basic scaffold course is to be conducted using a combination of written theoretical assessment and practical assessment during simulated workbased scenarios. The following assessment methods are to be applied to collect the required assessment evidence in accordance with training package requirements:
Performance Assessment
The candidate will be required to demonstrate their practical skills set integrated with their knowledge during practical assessment activities. These activities are sourced from varying equipment inspection, pre-operational site checks, equipment erection and dismantling. Trainers will regularly challenge test candidates throughout the course on varying equipment and mark their practical checklist accordingly.
All candidates are required to take part in a practical scenario to complete the course. While this is a group-based activity it allows all participants to show competence to undertake the activity with a holistic approach understanding all the varying roles and responsibilities.
Written Theory Assessment
The candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete the National HRWL theory assessment comprising 76 short answer & multiple-choice questions and 4 scaffold calculation questions These will be marked on the spot in order to provide the candidate with immediate feedback
This unit of competence has been drawn from the nationally endorsed industry training package CPC – Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package (Release 4.0) On successfully completing the training and assessment, a Statement of Attainment (SoA) for the unit CPCCLSF2001A Licence to erect alter and dismantle scaffolding basic will be issued along with a HRWL for basic scaffold. The unit of competency is nationally recognised and provides individuals with a valuable qualification that can be applied throughout Australia.
The course will be delivered using different modes of delivery involving classroom-based instruction and practical skills development sessions. Training will be coordinated from MIWT head office and delivered in a simulated work environment or at the MIWT training facility Warehouse 21 located at 57 Albert Road Moonah Tasmania.
Candidates will participate in facilitated learning sessions using handouts and discussion. During practical sessions, candidates will be asked to work in a group and facilitated through a range of practical skills using various scaffolding equipment. Participants will learn skills through practical instruction using demonstrated performance methods such as: Demonstration, explanation.
Elective Units
