CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
This unit of competency specifies the mandatory work health and safety training required prior to undertaking construction work. The unit requires the person to demonstrate personal awareness and knowledge of health and safety legislative requirements in order to work safely and prevent injury or harm to self and others. It covers identifying and orally reporting common construction hazards, understanding basic risk control measures, and identifying procedures for responding to potential incidents and emergencies. It also covers correctly selecting and fitting common personal protective equipment (PPE) used for construction work.
This unit meets the general construction induction training requirements of:
- Part 1.1 Definitions and Part 6.5 of the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations;
- Division 11 of Part 3 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 for Western Australia; and
- Division 3 of Part 5.1 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2007 for Victoria.
It is expected that site-specific induction training will be conducted prior to conducting construction work.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit. Relevant work health and safety state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm jurisdictional requirements.
Price: $550.00
What is included?
A range of learning and assessment resources support each unit of competency.
Learning resources
Trainer Guide
The Building and Construction Works Trainer Guides provide training content, student activities, delivery resources, links to videos, further reading and additional material to help guide delivery. Each Trainer Guide also includes assessment checkpoints – a self-reflection guide for students to check their readiness for assessment.
Trainer Guide Mapping
A detailed Trainer Guide Mapping is included for each unit of competency. It shows how each unit of competency is addressed by the Trainer Guide.
Student GuideÂ
For practical, hands-on units, content is provided by way of demonstration, videos, practical tasks, further reading and class discussions. For the ‘human skills’ and more theory-based units, the Student Guide provides learning content, activities, links to videos and further reading, and additional material to support learning. Assessment checkpoints are provided for each unit of competency and the student is directed to the appropriate assessment workbook to complete their assessment when they are ready.
Learning Modules Â
As you know, there is repetition across a number of units in the CPC training package. To help avoid your students (and trainers) seeing the same content over and over again, we have developed a number of Learning Modules. These modules present information common across multiple units of competency. Some examples of modules include PPE, tools and equipment, planning and preparation, and clean up.
PowerPoint Presentation
Each unit of competency is supported by a PowerPoint presentation. The slides highlight key learning points.
Assessment resources
Assessor Workbook
Assessor Workbooks provide assessment tasks, observation checklists and marking guidance for each unit of competency. They also provide unit-specific advice on delivering assessment. They are designed for use with students who are being assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace.Â
Assessor Mapping
Mapping is provided as a separate document to show how each unit of competency is mapped to each assessment task.
Student Workbook
Student Workbooks provide students with assessment tasks, checklists and guidance on gathering evidence for each unit of competency. They also provide important information relating to completing training and assessment. They are designed to provide a clear and straightforward way for them to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a workplace or simulated workplace setting.Â
Supporting resources
Plans Bank
The Plans Bank includes links to project plans that can be used for assessment, training and practise. You may like to draw from the bank or rely on your organisation’s own plans and projects. The bank also includes links to legislation, regulations and codes of practice, as well as calculators to assist students with working out materials quantities. We progressively add material to the Plans Bank.
Student and Assessor Toolboxes
Toolboxes provide key information, templates and forms for trainers, assessors and students. Instead of repeating this information across every unit in the series, we provide it in this one, handy document.
