Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to plan large demolition projects, including but not limited to structures or installations above 15 metres, to minimise environmental, public health and safety impact. It includes interpreting and meeting relevant compliance requirements and developing and implementing proactive measures to exceed them where possible.

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 authorities.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must plan and supervise demolition work to minimise environmental and public health and safety impact on two demolition projects, one of which must involve a structure above 15 metres in height. The candidate must:

  • assess the potential impacts of the demolition tasks
  • identify measures to minimise the impacts of the demolition work on the environment
  • identify measures to minimise the impacts of the demolition work on the public
  • review strategies and demolition work plan
  • brief and consult with the demolition team.

In doing this, the candidate must meet the performance criteria for this unit.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

  • the compliance requirements of the relevant Australian Standards, Building Code of Australia (BCA), model codes of practice, environmental and work health and safety (WHS) legislation
  • demolition procedures, techniques and safety requirements
  • demolition site inspection procedures
  • environmental and public health and safety hazards and risks existing or arising on demolition sites, and relevant risk management strategies
  • legislation, regulations, codes and standards relating to environmental and public health and safety on demolition sites
  • plant, tools and equipment required for demolition tasks:
  • permits and licences required
  • safe operating procedures
  • project management strategies
  • quality management strategies
  • strategies to minimise environmental and public health and safety risks on and around demolition sites
  • team leadership strategies.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Assessment of performance must be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Assessors are responsible for ensuring that the candidate demonstrating competency has access to:
