CONSTRUCTION & SAFETY COURSES

This two-day course aims to train staff that operate chainsaws in the correct and effective operation ensuring awareness of safety and basic maintenance issues. Students will learn the theory component of the course on Day 1 with practical activities on Day 2. Students will each be required to cut the equivalent of a box trailer load of wood from fallen limbs.

This training will be delivered and assessed by Australian Training Plus - RTO ID 91434. On successful completion of the training program, the nationally recognised Statement of Attainment AHCMOM213 Operate and maintain chainsaws will be issued to students assessed as competent by Australian Training Plus.

When working in confined spaces, there are serious health and safety risks. Confined spaces may pose a danger because they are not designed to be areas where people work. Many workplaces have confined spaces such as pits, drains and structural voids in buildings or equipment. They often have poor ventilation that can allow a hazardous atmosphere to quickly develop. The hazards are not always obvious, may change from one entry into the confined space to the next and depend on the workplace or environmental circumstances.

Forklifts (also called industrial lift trucks) are used to lift, stack and transfer loads in many workplaces across NSW. Fully loaded, a standard forklift and its load can have a combined weight of five or more tonnes, making the operation of a forklift truck a high risk activity.

A person who operates a forklift must hold a high risk work forklift licence. Training to get a high risk work licence must be completed as part of a course delivered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). The RTO will assess your training, skills and knowledge under realistic workplace conditions. Once obtained, the high risk work forklift licence is valid for five years.

Inland Rail is a game-changer for our region that’s generating thousands of local jobs and significantly boosting local business investment. We’re here to help you make the most of the Inland Rail opportunity with training to provide workers with the essential skills required to work on the Inland Rail project.

A white card (or general construction induction card) is required for workers who want to carry out construction work.

People who need a white card include:

• site managers, supervisors, surveyors, labourers and tradespeople;
• people who access operational construction zones (unaccompanied or not directly supervised by an inducted person);
• workers whose employment causes them to routinely enter operational construction zones.

To obtain a White Card you must satisfactorily complete general construction induction training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights
For all employees who are required to work at heights, this course covers the safety requirements, responsibilities and use of equipment when working at heights in the resources and infrastructure industries. This unit is appropriate for those working in operational roles undertaking work at heights.

In order to manage the hazards associated with working in proximity to overhead powerlines, there are clearance distances around powerlines that apply. To avoid damage to underground assets operators must be able to identify, locate and protect underground services in civil construction. In this course participants will learn how to ensure safety when using plant and/or machinery near overhead powerlines or underground services.

This training will be delivered and assessed by Australian Training Plus - RTO ID 91434. On successful completion of the training program, the nationally recognised Statements of Attainment UETTDREL14 Working safely near live electrical apparatus as a non-electrical worker and RIICCM202E Identify, locate and protect underground services will be issued to students assessed as competent by Australian Training Plus.

In this course participants will refresh their knowledge of how to ensure safety when using plant and/or machinery near overhead powerlines or underground services.

This training will be delivered and assessed by Australian Training Plus - RTO ID 91434. On successful completion of the training program, the nationally recognised Statements of Attainment UETTDREL14 Working safely near live electrical apparatus as a non-electrical worker and RIICCM202E Identify, locate and protect underground services will be issued to students assessed as competent by Australian Training Plus.
