I received information recently of the release of a new DVD on scaffolding basics. I believe this to be of interest to many of my clients and wanted to share the link.

This Australian produced DVD gives an introduction to what is required to work safely when undertaking restricted height and basic level scaffolding work.

The DVD clearly explains each step required to erect, alter and dismantle modular scaffolding.

It covers areas such as the importance of fall protection, planning the job, hazards, scaffolding parts, components and tools, and the actual erecting and dismantling of modular scaffolding.

The accompanying CD contains learners’ worksheets that can be customised, as well as a trainers’ guide.

Scaffolding Basics can be used as learning support material for people working towards their National High Risk Licence Unit CPCCLSF2001A Licence to erect, alter and dismantle scaffolding – basic level.

This resource is also aligned to CPC30908 Certificate III in Scaffolding fromt he Construction, Plumbing and Services Integrated Framework (CPC08 Training Package) and relates to the competencies:

• CPCCM2008A Erect and dismantle restricted height scaffolding
• CPCCSC2002A Erect and dismantle basic scaffolding
