Safe Formworker Program |
Formwork Safety & Specific WHS Issues LearningDeveloped in consultation with the formwork industry this program is a pathway for workers to receive micro credential learning on formwork specific WHS issues to increase awareness of formwork safety.
Essential for all formworkers, and a requirement on some major infrastructure projects. This easy to access micro credential learning program will be available to workers at toolbox talks, pre starts or in the shed and other times via mobile learning. With video and image-based learning, along with gamification, it is hoped to re-engage workers in learning, tackle the language barriers and prepare workers for further learning, whilst covering the important aspects of formwork WHS issues and improving formwork safety awareness on site, so that workers can return home safely at the end of the working day.
