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 CPCCDE3022A Manage demolition recyclable and waste materials using load shifting equipment. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012. |
Application
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to organise the removal of different types of demolition recyclable and waste materials and contaminated soil. It involves the operation of a range of load shifting equipment on demolition sites and incorporates knowledge of recyclable materials and the safe disposal of hazardous materials.
The unit does not provide training and assessment for operation of individual items of plant.
Candidates may only enrol in this unit after successfully completing separate operator training and assessment that confirms the capability of the person to safely operate the items of plant covered in this unit.
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 CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to demolition work in different states and territories. Candidates are advised to consult with the relevant regulatory authority.
