CPCCCM2012 & CPCCWHS2001 Work Safely at Heights

The Work Safely at Heights course is designed for participants who could be required to undertake activities that will require them to work above 1.5metres from ground level and where fall protection measures are required.

The course is designed to expose participants who work at height to a broad range of height risk situations and to correctly implement a safe working procedure. Upon completion of this course, participants will be competent to work at height using applicable fall protective equipment in line with Workplace Health and Safety guidelines.



 

Introduction

It requires the performance of work in a safe manner through awareness of risks and work requirements, and the planning and performance of safe work practices with concern for personal safety and the safety of others.

The course covers fundamental WHS requirements necessary to undertake work tasks within any sector in the construction industry. It includes the identification of hazardous materials, including asbestos, and compliance with legislated work safety practices. It does not cover removal of asbestos, which is a licensed activity.

During the course we will assist you to develop safe work method statements and risk assessments for working at height. All workers who conduct or supervise tasks whilst at height will find this course beneficial to workplace safety. This course will enable you to comply with current WHS legislation with successful participants receiving a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment.

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

Course Delivery
The training will see the participant attend the college for a minimum period of 16 hours to complete a mixed mode of training. This will include both theory and also practical tasks. Training can be conducted at your work site or off-site at our training facilities.

Work at heights training is focused on fall prevention rather than fall arrest. It is designed to equip workers with the knowledge and skills to safely work in any height situation, primarily being aimed at general construction, maintenance, mining, large factories or other work situations where work is conducted in a place where a fall from one level to another is possible.

We recognise that whilst there is a standard set of learning outcomes for this course, the context and environment in which the learning is applied is varied. We will always customise the course to suit your unique workplace requirements. Training covers risk assessment, selection and correct use of equipment, rigging and of anchor systems, fall restraint, work positioning and fall arrest systems.

These activities will run in various weather temperature fluctuations. Please ensure that you wear appropriate clothing including enclosed footwear.

Licencing and Regulations
This unit also relates directly to the general construction induction training requirements of the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 and relevant occupational health and safety regulations for Victoria and for Western Australia.

Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry covers these induction training requirements.
