Modification History

Release 1

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

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCCA3018A Construct, erect and dismantle formwork for stairs and ramps. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to construct, erect and dismantle formwork for stairs and ramps to provide access between floors and landings, meeting all relevant requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.

It includes:

  • establishing required levels on site
  • constructing timber, metal or prefabricated formwork to contain wet poured concrete until it is completely cured
  • stripping the formwork
  • preparing and storing formwork for re-use.

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 CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Pre-requisite Unit

CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry.
