Modification History

Release 1

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

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCCA3019A Erect and dismantle formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to erect and dismantle formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls to contain concrete in above-ground construction, meeting all relevant requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.

The unit includes:

  • setting out, assembling and bracing formwork
  • sorting formwork materials and preparing 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
