Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0.

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCDE3020A Select and use tools and equipment for hot work in the demolition industry. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to cut materials using cutting processes that create a heat source that could cause an ignition. The unit covers the safe operation and maintenance of tools and equipment for hazardous demolition hot work.

It includes the safe on-site operation and maintenance of tools and equipment used for hazardous demolition hot work.

Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of unit CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

Hot work permits and licenses for the operation of specialised hot-work equipment are required in different states and territories.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to demolition work in different states and territories. Candidates are advised to consult with the relevant regulatory authorities.

Pre-requisite Unit

CPCCWHS2001

  • hazards that may exist or arise on demolition sites, especially those associated with hot work:
  • build-up of combustible materials
  • chemical compounds
  • drums
  • dust
  • gas
  • residual fuels, for example, in pipework to be cut
  • sparks
  • storage tanks
  • procedures for:
  • environmentally sound waste management
  • managing risks and hazards on demolition sites
