Continued education and development are crucial in the construction industry. The current lack of tickets and certification in the Australian Formwork industry provides some challenges and risks. It is therefore essential that training, education and certification are prioritised in formwork businesses immediately to improve safety and gain a competitive edge.
New legislation and working practices currently growing in the construction and formwork industry are putting pressure on formwork businesses to demonstrate the competencies and skills of their employees when putting together a proposal.
If your company is already a leader in the field, education is key to remaining on top.
As part of its member benefits, the FIA brings you workshops and learning events for your workers to improve knowledge, improve safety awareness and gain certification, accreditation and recognition of prior learning.
In addition to the usual training and education provided by the FIA and its partners, we are launching a new industry accreditation program that is only available to members. The new FIA Industry Accreditation program provides a level of prestige and reliability in the minds of clients and customers that is invaluable to our members. It provides easy to access online learning and a way for workers to manage their own training and skills competency, taking ownership of their career developments and skills acquisition. Accredited workers are trained, competent and skilled which means they are work safe and highly productive.
For the formwork company, being able to demonstrate the competency and skills of their workers, particularly through an industry recognised accreditation program, means a competitive advantage when quoting for work.
Construction companies, developers and the like recognise industry accreditation programs and support the work of the FIA and have agreed to favour those that can demonstrate their workers are part of the program.
Looking to gain that competitive edge, be it your own formwork career, or by winning more profitable work? Then join today or renew as a priority.
