Modification History

Release 2

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.1.

Changes to Performance Evidence and Unit Sector.

Release 1

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

Supersedes and equivalent to CPCCWP3002A Apply waterproofing process to internal wet areas. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply waterproofing to internal wet areas, meeting all relevant requirements of Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.

It includes identification of the appropriate waterproofing system to be used, its preparation and its application.

A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without close supervision.

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.
