Doing licensed demolition work in New South Wales
You learn to identify the hazards on a demolition site and apply risk-management strategies for safety, public health and the environment. CPCCDE3030 is the course SafeWork NSW approves for licensed demolition work in New South Wales.
It is written for the people on those sites: workers entering the demolition industry, machinery and equipment operators, licensed demolition contractors and named supervisors, and anyone doing demolition work without direct supervision.
The course is two units. CPCCDE3030 is the demolition unit; CPCCWHS2001 is its mandatory prerequisite, bundled with your course rather than bought separately.
